Habitat succeeds
because of the
numerous partnerships that are formed on each home. However, the Houses of Steel project
represents anextraordinary collaboration of resources.
Led by the Project Sponsor, Porter Panel and Truss, three of
Maine’s largest construction companies signed on to work on the project. Allied Cook Construction, Wright –Ryan Construction and Ledgewood Construction served as Construction Management Leaders for one of these houses.
Houses of Steel – Homes of Hope Bremen Street in Westbrook |

We couldn't have done it with you. Your kindness and generosity goes a long way to help us make sure our homeowners have an affordable housing payment, which will allow them to pursue new and exciting opportunities for themselves and their families. Affordable homeownership means that they are no longer faced with the decision of choosing between their housing payment and other basic needs such as food, clothing and medicine.
For the Brown Family it means that Danine can go back to school to complete her degree and her kids, Caitlyn, Zackary and Matthew can stay in the same school system. She will be able to raise her kids in the same community she grew up in, not having to worry about moving because of rising rent and utility costs.
Just a couple of houses away, Abdi and Ayan are grateful for the changes that this new home has already brought to their life. Moving from an apartment to their three bedroom house, they are still getting used to how quiet it is and the freedom they have to let their kids play outside. Abdi is now only a short ride away from work and Ayan will be able to care for her young family while continuing her college courses at SMCC.
For both families, it means stability, security and a lifetime of memories in their own home. You made that possible. We simply can’t thank you enough.

“You have no idea how much of a difference this [new housing payment] will make for our family. It means that I can go back to school and start saving for my kids to go to college someday. It will open a lot of doors for us.” |
