SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY (April 26, 2011) – Habitat for Humanity of Sullivan County is now accepting applications for their next house. The house will be constructed on a parcel of land which was donated to the organization by Elizabeth Keybl, a former county resident and an active Habitat volunteer in the State of Florida. The lot is just outside the hamlet of South Fallsburg in a quiet residential neighborhood. It is in the Fallsburg School District.

For this house, Sullivan County Habitat will be promoting sustainable building practices by using the latest in environmental design, thereby reducing partner family expenses and lessening environmental impact. A construction committee headed by Bert Echt and Stephen Stuart are being assisted in design by local architects Michael Chojnicki and Buck Morehead.

The Family selection Committee, chaired by Anne Solenski of White Lake, has prepared information packets and is making those packets available to local libraries, places of worship and not-for-profit agencies. Information is also available on the organizations website www.sullivancountyhabitat.com.

Applicants are encouraged to call or e-mail for additional information at 845-791-8305 or schabitat@gmail.com.

The deadline for applications is May 16, 2011.
