Your curiosity on who the county’s newest partner family is was finally answered Thursday morning in Sturgeon Bay. Door County Habitat for Humanity and the Door County Housing Partnership Trust announced Melissa Krueger and her children will be the owner of one of the two homes being built by the organizations. It is the first time Door County Habitat for Humanity and the Door County Housing Partnership Trust have collaborated on an affordable home for a local resident. It was a long wait for Megan Dietz and Lori Allen of Door County Habitat for Humanity, who usually have the partner family announced before the foundation is often poured. Allen says it has been worth the wait.

Jim Honig from the Door County Housing Partnership says the home will be able to remain affordable for homeowners for years to come.

Both Door County Habitat for Humanity and the Door County Housing Partnership Trust is donor-supported, but you can also help out with the home build at the site on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
