West Babylon, NY – Celebrating April as “Fair Housing Month,” members of the Long Island Board of Realtors® (LIBOR) volunteered their time and skills to officially raise a wall and build a new Habitat for Humanity home in Roosevelt. Volunteers worked alongside Habitat for Humanity to begin construction on the single-family home at 9 Wilson Place that will be occupied by the Brown family. The property was donated to Habitat for Humanity by a local philanthropist.
The participation of volunteers from the Long Island Board of Realtors in this worthy project is part of LIBOR’s “We’re More Than Realtors” campaign, which continues to provide grants and support to not-for-profit organizations and charities to support community services, such as the Hagedorn Little Village School, Rebuilding Together LI, Long Island Cares and The Harry Chapin Food Bank, and organizes volunteers to assist such worthy organizations as Habitat for Humanity.
According to Joe Sinnona, Co-Chair of LIBOR’s PR Committee; “Homeownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream and deserves a preferred place in our system of values as it contributes to community responsibility; civic, economic, business and employment stability; family security and well-being.” “The Long Island Board of Realtors is committed to assisting New Yorkers in achieving the American Dream of becoming homeowners, and we’re proud to be able to offer our assistance to Habitat for Humanity, that does such important work on Long Island and across the country.” added Peter Caruso, a LIBOR PR Committee Member and Volunteer who participated in the event.
