Donors, volunteers and community leaders will celebrate Habitat for Humanity Prince William County’s sixteenth home ownership project with a Home Dedication on Thursday, July 28, 2016, 7 p.m.
Wudasie Retta and Tesfaye Abuye will purchase the home at 4602 Central Park Drive, Woodbridge, from Habitat for Humanity with an affordable mortgage and will make it home for themselves and their three children, Kidus, Haleluya and Levi, ages 9, 7 and 2.
Retta and Abuye qualified for the home purchase through Habitat for Humanity Prince William County’s home ownership application process in the spring of this year and work to rehab the home began shortly after in May. The family volunteered more than 350 hours of time with Habitat for Humanity, including working on the home, providing lunch for volunteers and taking financial management and homeownership classes.
Habitat for Humanity Prince William County purchased the home using Neighborhood Stablization Program funds received through Habitat for Humanity Virginia and the Virginia’s Department of Housing and Community Development.
