Families, Habitat for Humanity use housing bust to start anew (Seattle Times)
Sunday, April 10, 2011
Nonprofit homebuilder Habitat for Humanity sees the national foreclosure crisis as an opportunity.
Habitat’s Seattle/South King County chapter recently purchased two foreclosed single-family homes in Kent’s East Hill neighborhood and is in the process of buying another. Instead of the typical building a new home from the ground up, Habitat crews have spent all winter refurbishing them, getting them ready for occupancy.

Another way Habitat for Humanity provides decent, affordable housing where it’s needed. Glad at least one good thing can come out of this national financial crisis.
