Projects
Westfield Duplex


GWHH’s first project was this duplex built in Westfield. Groundbreaking on an empty lot took place in July of 1999 and construction of the building began in October of the same year. Numerous area businesses and individuals contributed hundreds of volunteer hours and thousands of dollars in cash or materials to complete the project which was brought in under budget. Volunteers came from as far away as Africa and as near as down the street to work with the two Habitat families who now reside there.

Chester Homes
Two homes were built and completed in 2004 on adjacent lots in Chester. See below for pictures of the Ranch.




Thanks to all who helped support the recent completion of two Habitat homes on Middlefield Road in Chester. Two families are in their new homes as a result of their work and the contributions from donors, vendors and volunteers, including:
