Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati (Habitat) is a non-profit Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate substandard housing locally and globally by building and renovating decent, affordable homes to sell to low-income first-time homebuyers. Funding for the homes comes from contributions from individuals as well as faith-based organizations. There are also contributions from corporations that support Habitat’s mission. Habitat is composed of several coalitions. These coalitions provide funding and volunteer labor for affordable housing for first-time homebuyers. Christ the King is a part of The Shalom Coalition, which was initially created as a “Peace” partnership between local community and congregation leaders. Shalom is comprised of 10 congregations leading, planning, and building each home. Our Current Build The Shalom Coalition’s 28th build is well underway in Lockland at 415 Locust St. We’re moving right along! Once a bit more of the contracted inside work takes place, we will be all ready for mechanical and framing inspections, which should occur this week. Before those happen, we will be focusing on getting the siding completed (still 3+ sides to go). After the inspections, we’ll move right along to interior insulation as well as the rest of the inside work We could use your help in the weeks ahead.
