Three families will officially leave sub-standard housing behind and receive keys to their new energy-efficient Chatham Habitat for Humanity homes at a dedication ceremony on Thursday, June 10 at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to share in the celebration. Uplifting music will be provided by Christ United Methodist Church. The Ibarra-Rivera family, the Cervantes-Zavaleta family, and the Margarito-Bernabe family each contributed more than 350 hours toward the construction of their homes and have completed courses designed to prepare them for successful homeownership.
