To learn more about our current construction and renovation projects, please read below.
Since 1986, Lancaster Lebanon Habitat has constructed and rehabilitated homes throughout Lancaster and Lebanon Counties as part of our homeownership program.
Our building opportunities come to us in many ways. We have built on land donated to us by local churches or private entities. We have constructed homes on properties were condemned homes once stood. We have completely rehabilitated fire-damaged homes donated to us by generous individuals. We are on the constant lookout for space within the region that might be ideal for a single-family homes. In an effort to bring families closer to their place of work, extended family and schools, we look to create affordable housing where there is need.
Affordable home inventory is at an all-time low. Our community urgently needs more housing opportunities for lower-income families. Please consider joining our team of sponsors and supporters who have helped with previous builds. Visit our Support Us pages to learn how you can make homeownership possible.
LANCASTER CONSTRUCTION
Our Habitat construction team and volunteers are currently working on 3 rehabs in Lancaster City, as well as putting the finishing touches on the Columbia Build, a multi-home build project on South Fifth Street in Columbia Borough. Each of these seven homes have been matched with their future homebuyers.
Our Coral Street Build in Lancaster City will be the site of this year’s Women Build Week; all-female crews will be among the first of our volunteers on the work site. Our Poplar and S. Christian Street renovations are are expected to wrap up this fall.
In looking much further ahead, we are working on design plans and land development for a second multi-family home build in Columbia, as well as an 8-home, condo-style build on Wheatland Avenue in Lancaster City.
LEBANON CONSTRUCTION
Habitat is working on two Lebanon City rehabs… our N. 11th Street and Buttonwood Builds. Because of severe fire damage, the N. 11th Street project was a complete tear-down. Volunteers have been working on exterior framing and windows. The build is the future home of Sonia, a Habitat homebuyer AND our first-ever construction forewoman! It is also the site of this year’s Women Build Week in Lebanon. Our Buttonwood Build is in planning stages, getting it ready to launch with the completion of 11th Street.
