Long Island Board of Realtors Help Build
Habitat for Humanity Roosevelt Home
May 2008 - 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.
