Three Home Dedications Slated For January & February
HFHNCC Executive Director Kevin L. Smith is pleased to announce Habitat partner families, Cathy Polk, Tracy Ellis and Eugenio Reyes Resto, who will have their homes dedicated in the coming weeks. Polk and her three children will have her home dedicated on Friday, January 20th, at 11 a.m. The home is located on 2124 Lamotte Street, in the Prices Run neighborhood of Wilmington, and is a small portion of what Habitat is doing on a larger scale with the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, which includes renovating another seven homes and constructing Mill Stone, Habitat’s largest single construction project to date. The majority of the construction was completed by the Delaware Skills Center students, led by their instructor Bob Ramsey.

The following week, on Friday, January 27th, at 11 a.m. HFHNCC will dedicate the home of Tracy Eillis and her three children, at 9 Dryden Avenue in the Coventry neighborhood. In February, Mr. Reyes Resto will have his home, located on 28 Defoe Circle, dedicated on Friday the 17th.

The Dryden and Defoe homes mark the fourth and fifth homes New Castle County has sponsored with Habitat through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which takes abandoned properties and through community partners, rehabilitates them and places them back on the market.
