Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys celebrated a significant milestone on Oct. 7 with a groundbreaking ceremony at 110, 112, 114, and 116 Poinsettia Drive. The project will see the construction of four new affordable housing units, providing critical housing solutions for families in the Upper Keys community.
The ceremony was attended by notable public figures, including state Rep. Jim Mooney and state Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez. Members of the Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors and other local community members also joined the event in support of this important initiative.
“This project represents more than just four homes — it is about building hope and opportunity for families in need,” said Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys Executive Director, Lindsay Fast. “We are grateful for the support of our partners and the community who make these projects possible, namely Publix and Ocean Reef Community Foundation.” The contributions from Publix and the Ocean Reef Community Foundation ensures that more residents of the Upper Keys will have access to safe, affordable housing, helping to strengthen and uplift the local community.
Each of these four units will become three-bedroom, two-bathroom, single-family homes. Construction is set to start soon with a completion time of spring 2026.
