Habitat, Lippert Start Work on 15-Unit Elkhart Neighborhood – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
ELKHART — Habitat for Humanity of Elkhart County is breaking ground on a 15-unit neighborhood as it accelerates its homebuilding efforts to meet the need of area families, according to a report by the Elkhart Truth.
The organization is embarking on a multi-home construction project on Homer Avenue at Elkhart’s south end. Habitat has acquired close to 6 acres and expanded on its original plans of building 10 homes.
A partnership with manufacturing firm Lippert is expected to speed up the project. Habitat President Greg Conrad said it’s a partnership that goes back years.
“We are ready, with the support of Lippert, to start the brand new subdivision here for 15 families, 15 working families,” he said during the groundbreaking Tuesday. “Lippert’s support is measured in years. Decades. It’s not just been the financial perspective. I would want to make sure that I also acknowledge the fact that they have donated materials to every house. They have stepped up when it comes to tangible things.”
