Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys is holding two upcoming events which highlight its commitment to affordable housing in the Upper Keys.
On Aug. 1, Habitat will open a new application window and invite those who meet its criteria to apply to become a home buyer.
On Aug. 2-3, Habitat will hold an open house to celebrate the start of the homebuyer program and accept applications for homes currently, or soon to be, available for purchase. Three-bedroom duplexes and single-family homes in Tavernier and Key Largo are available. The open house will be held at the Habitat Upper Keys’ office, located in the median at 98970 Overseas Highway, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Prospective homebuyers, volunteers, donors and community leaders are encouraged to join in the celebration.
The open house will provide an opportunity for those interested to learn details on eligibility criteria, benefits of homeownership and how to apply for a home. Two- and three-bedroom homes are also available to rent. A Habitat for Humanity qualified loan originator will be onsite to meet with potential homebuyers and to answer any questions regarding the homebuyer and rental programs.
At the same time, the Habitat ReStore will host a Sidewalk Sale, which aims to raise funds to further our mission of providing safe and affordable housing solutions in the Upper Keys. The sale will feature 50% off select ReStore merchandise. For every purchase or monetary donation over $20, people will receive a raffle ticket and be entered to win a $100 gift certificate at the ReStore. From furniture and home decor to building materials and appliances, every purchase directly contributes to building stronger communities and brighter futures.
“We are thrilled to invite everyone to this event, and hope to fill our open homeownership spots, because construction is moving right along at our projects and it’s time to find people to live in these wonderful homes,” said executive director Lindsay Fast. “The Open House and Sidewalk Sale not only celebrate our Home Buyer Program but also demonstrate the community’s integral role in supporting affordable housing initiatives.”
