| Rain Could Not Dampen this Groundbreaking Celebration |
|
In spite of the rainstorm that hit Long Beach on Saturday, February 27, 2010, the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) Groundbreaking Celebration on Henderson Avenue and 15th Street shined through.
The Long Beach Housing Development Company (LBHDC) and HFH GLA have partnered to build three new four-bedroom, two-bath, single-family homes in the Washington Square area  of Long Beach (15th Street between Henderson and Chestnut Avenues). HFH GLA will also rehabilitate a single-family home on Magnolia Street. The project will create four new homeownership opportunities for hard-working, low-income buyers who live or work in the city of Long Beach.
The groundbreaking celebration began with remarks by Erin Rank, HFH GLA President & CEO followed by Stacy McDaniel, Vice Chair of the Long Beach Housing Development Company; the Honorable U.S. Congresswoman Laura Richardson of the 37th Congressional District; the Honorable city of Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster; the Honorable Councilmember Robert Garcia (District 1), and Commander Robert Luman of the Long Beach Police Department. Pastor Seth Moorman of Bethany Lutheran Church blessed the site.
The house sponsors include LBHDC, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, The city of Long Beach and Ability Builds. The rains let up just long enough to turn over the soil. The Long Beach Fire Department had offered to bar-b-que hot dogs for the guests but the heavy rains dampened those plans. Dispite the weather, over 150 residents, City Officials, Habitat staff and volunteers came out for the ground breaking making it a memorable and wonderful celebration for the community. |
