Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, August 28th, 2024

The home on Duncan Avenue is Macon Habitat’s 2024 Blitz Build project. The blitz build was completed with the support of partners from Macon Area subcontractors. The 5-bedroom, 2-and-a-half-bathroom home was completed in half the time of a traditional build. The three homes dedicated during the ceremony Tuesday afternoon are the final three homes built with the investment of funds from the American Rescue Plan Act from Macon-Bibb County and a matching grant from The Peyton Anderson Foundation.

During the dedication, Macon Habitat and the community will join together with the new homeowners, the Cooper, McCoy, and Beasley families, to dedicate their homes and thank the many partners, donors and volunteers that helped with construction. All are welcome to join Macon Habitat to witness the heart of our work and congratulate the soon-to-be homeowners!

“Each time we get to dedicate a new home with a family is an opportunity for us to also say thank you to everyone who helped make each families’ dreams come true,” said Ivey Hall, Executive Director of Macon Area Habitat for Humanity. “Each home is built with the love and investment of volunteers, donors and partners who have recognized the need for safe and affordable housing in our community. We are excited to welcome three new families home and hand over the keys to an exciting next step in their lives.”
