A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, destroying thousands of buildings and homes. Over a million people have been affected by this devasting catastrophe. Habitat has worked with Haiti for over 26 years and will continue to serve the people there by helping to rebuild. Habitat is addressing immediate relief efforts and long-term shelter solutions for low-income families. The response is threefold: cleanup, shelter kits and safe, transitional shelter. Immediate response to the disaster will include restoring capacity to Habitat Haiti. More details can be read in this fact sheet prepared by Habitat for Humanity International about their relief plans. You can help by making a donation via credit card using our secure website. Just indicate that the donation is for "Haiti." |

Welcome Our 2010 Families! |
|
The Family Selection & Nurture Committee has approved 13 new Partner Families to build homes with Cincinnati Habitat in 2010. The next step in the process is to match these families with available build sites. Each approved family is offered a maximum of two build sites. If they would decline both, then they are removed from the list of approved families and would need to reapply the next time applications are accepted.
We want to congratulate these new Partner Families and welcome them to Cincinnati Habitat as they begin the first part of their journey. We look forward to an incredible build season with these families.
Amy Bomar, Stephona Bowman,
Now that families have been selected and the build season is rapidly approaching, we are actively recruiting volunteers who would like to serve as Family Advocates. These are individuals who work with a Partner Family one-on-one during what can sometimes be a confusing and maybe even a bit overwhelming process of building and buying a home. If you would like to learn more about this rewarding volunteer opportunity, please contact our Family Services Manager at hspieler@cincinnati-habitat.org. |
