Costanza Family returns home just in time for Christmas!
On December 13, Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth County dedicated the Costanza Family home in Union Beach - in front of dozens of family, friends, volunteers, board members and staff including Union Beach Mayor Paul Smith - more than two years ago, Hurricane Sandy destroyed the home the Costanza's had lived in for 26 years. As part of the ceremony, which included the official hand over of the keys, the Costanza family was presented with holiday decorations and ornaments for their Christmas tree, donated by Maple Leaf Gardens of Holmdel while guests brought gift cards and non- perishable food items to help the Costanza family have a brighter holiday.
The Governor and First Lady recently visited the Costanza home on October 29, 2014, which was the second anniversary of the storm. In addition to the family's insurance funds, the project received funding from the Hurricane Sandy NJ Relief Fund, the American Red Cross and CentraState Medical Center.
Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth County volunteers and community partners worked very hard over the last several months with the Costanza family to get them in their home by Christmas. With the completion of the family's new home, Habitat in Monmouth County has now assisted 88 families whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Sandy.

House that Youth Built and House that Faith Built campaigns continue in 2015
In October 2014, Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth launched two crowdfunding campaigns to support two families in the service area. 
The House that Youth Built campaign is a youth based service project aimed at engaging schools and youth organizations to help raise funds needed for the Henn Family of Middletown, a family displaced from Hurricane Sandy since 2012. The Henn Family home will be the fifth Sandy new home construction by the organization. To help support this initiative please share with others to help spread the word and make a donation to help the cause visit http://share.habitat.org/henhome
The House that Faith Built is an interfaith based fundraising project that engages the faith community from across the service area to raise funds needed to help the Quezada family obtain their dream of homeownership as our newest traditional homeowner.
