Community members flocked to Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys’ ReStore and perused a showroom full of furniture and other items during a special sidewalk sale — all to raise money for local housing projects.
“We sold a record $9,000 in two days, which is amazing, and supports our local affordable housing efforts,” said Lindsay Fast, executive director for Habitat of the Upper Keys.
Held Aug. 2-3 at Habitat’s home base in Key Largo, staff were also available to discuss the various homeownership and rental opportunities for local families seeking an affordable route to living in the Upper Keys. Fast said several homes under construction will be completed later this year on Plantation Key. There are also opportunities to own a home in Key Largo through Habitat.
“Anyone interested should give us a call to make an appointment for more information,” Fast said. “We would love to get everything ‘full’ as soon as possible, so that our partners can be working on their sweat equity and move in as soon as the homes are completed, which we anticipate to be later this fall.”
