Two single-parent families with children have homes in Sturgeon Bay, thanks partly to your generosity and the collaboration of several organizations. This week, the Door County Housing Partnership announced the completion of two new homes in Sturgeon Bay as they continue to address affordable housing in the area. The organization partnered with Door County Habitat for Humanity on one of the homes and received assistance from benefactors Mike and Kathryn Martell and Countrywide Construction of Forestville for the other. Pastor Jim Honig said last December that their work can be hard at times, but their firsthand impact makes their efforts worth it.

By using the Community Land Trust model, the Door County Housing Partnership ensures that the home and the land it sits on remain affordable for the foreseeable future. Honig said the organization looked forward to building more homes in the Sister Bay area this summer.
