Housing Development Alliance

American Reformed Church has narrowed down to only three work sites. The Airport gang has been speeding along with the new house. In two and a half days, they have raised the walls, planted the trusses, and will soon be shingling. Our carpenters are honestly impressed. There is a group still at R. Wallen's home and they have been leveling/digging the ground straight, dug a trench for pipes, and they painted the foundation. But the group(s) in Defiance have, probably, the hardest task of the three. For three days now, they have been shoveling and raking the foundation floors of two houses in the beginning stage. Under the hot sun, with practically no shade, the Defiance group trudged on. Despite the tedious work, everyone seemed to be feeling some satisfaction at the end of the day. And we value their hard work and dedication more than anything. There's some definite chemistry between the volunteers and their carpenters. American Reformed Church has one more day of work and then they get to party at King's Island on Friday! Woo!

In other news, First Federal Savings and Loan of Hazard, KY partnered with the Housing Development Alliance, and participated with the Federal Home Loan Bank’s “Affordable Housing Program.” As part of this, they agreed to do some landscaping and labor on a construction day yesterday. They also painted R. Wallen’s home and completed the final cleaning. It was hot, but they did an awesome job! We thank them for their labor and partnership.
