Open House, Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut

Description

Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut welcomes the public to an Open House on Wednesday, July 15th, to celebrate their new office location at One Bailey Circle, New London. 

Sarah Lufler, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, credits community volunteers, Habitat homeowners gaining sweat equity, and corporate and nonprofit organizations donating their time to construction for making the move to the new building possible. “More than 50 volunteers gave over 750 hours of construction labor to the Bailey Circle remodel to help make this happen,” Lufler notes, “Habitat’s new headquarters involves much more than a change of address. It signals the growth of our organization and reflects the critical need for affordable homeownership in Eastern Connecticut. One Bailey Circle will be the place families seeking housing stability will begin their journey.” 

One Bailey Circle formerly housed Sun Turtle Office Furniture. Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut was located at 377 Broad Street for over three decades prior to a 2 year move to the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern CT’s Regional Innovation Center. It was the goal of the organization to build a functional and accessible space for future Habitat families and to serve the community and housing continuum well into the 21st century. 

Area residents, members of the business community, local officials, prospective homeowners and others are encouraged to attend the Open House for a chance to tour the building and learn more about the Habitat mission. Those who plan to attend the event are asked to email engage@habitatect.org by July 13th. Walk-ins will be welcome.
