A Bucks County organization is celebrating the dedication of one of their countless affordable homes recently built in the area.

Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County, headquartered at 539 Jacksonville Road, Suite 100 in Warminster, recently held a ceremony that celebrated their 125th home being built in the area. The home, located at 5802 Beaver Dam Road in Bristol, was opened up for a family in need of affordable housing.

“Habitat for Humanity’s staff, their donors, volunteers, and partners are making our dreams come true. We are very grateful and can hardly wait to move and pay it forward,” said Jenny, the single mother of two boys who will be the residents of the new home. 

Under Habitat Bucks’ new land trust model, the homebuyer purchases only the house, not the land, making the price more affordable. The homebuyer also agrees to limit their proceeds when they sell, so another low-income household can afford to purchase the home, preserving the home’s affordability in the future.

“At Habitat Bucks we believe that affordable housing plays a critical role in strong stable communities. Experts also draw a straight line between housing quality and the wellbeing of children,” said Stacey Mullholland, Vice President, Habitat Board of Directors.
