At our last Woodford Habitat board meeting, we heard about the continuing work on several possibilities for our next house. There are several possibilities but nothing that we can announce yet. If anyone knows of a possible lot that we could buy, let us know.

TO: Woodford Habitat for Humanity Supporters

Woodford Habitat continues to work to line up a build site. There are several possibilities, but It is a frustratingly slow process. One that is very common these days with most Habitat affiliates.

Our volunteers are available for an occasional repair affair project. We recently repaired a door for a family with multiple disability issues. See the attached before and after photos.

Woodford Habitat continues to look for land on which to build its next affordable house, for a family to purchase interest free. In the meantime some Habitat volunteers on other projects like this ramp for a family.

TO: Supporters of Woodford Habitat

All supporters of Habitat for Humanity should remember that Habitat supports the goal of decent housing for all in many countries around the world. Woodford Habitat makes an annual donation to the international work of Habitat. Generally, we send 10% of contributions we receive to work in other countries. In recent years, the Woodford Habitat Board has designated that our donation to go to work in Uganda. This year the Woodford Habitat Board decided to go with a more general donation to the Habitat Global Mission Fund. A check for $2,000 will be sent shortly.

Looking thru the Habitat International website, I found an interesting photo of a British group volunteering to build homes in Malawi. The photo is below.

A couple of interesting notes.

There has been no Habitat activity in Franklin County for many years. Kentucky Habitat is trying to change that and Lexington Habitat has agreed to expand its operations to include Frankfort and Franklin County.

We were pleased that both Mary Shearer, Executive Director of Kentucky Habitat and Lyle Hannah, the Board chair visited our build on Douglas Ave. KY Habitat recently participated in an interesting meeting at the Capitol in Frankfort. There are a couple of bills in the current General Assembly session that would increase funding for the Kentucky Affordable Housing Trust Fund. That fund has helped KY Habitat’s work particularly in the tornado disaster areas of Western Ky. Another proposal would make it a bit easier for a church to convert some of its property to affordable housing.

It seems unlikely that these developments would have much impact on Woodford Habitat but you never know.

With Belinda and family securely in their new home on Douglas Avenue, the attention of the Board obviously turns to future projects. That can be a frustrating process, as several prospects have turned in to deadends because potential sellers decided not to pursue any Habitat proposal. We are diligently pursuing a couple of other possibilities. We hope something can be worked out and we will be able to start on a build this summer or fall but there are no guarantees.

We did have some good news on the fundraising front. Greg Dotson at Woodford Feed runs an annual Christmas lottery. Customers buy tickets and the winner gets to designate various non profits to receive the raffle proceeds. Michael Duckworth was this year’s winner and selected Woodford Habitat to receive part of the money to the tune of $5,000. Thanks to both Dotson and Duckworth. The photo is the presentation at a Chamber of Commerce meeting. Sioux Finney was in attendance and represented Habitat.
