Habitat dedicates 108th home 

MATTHEWS – Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity dedicated its 108th home built in the Greater Matthews area June 1 on Dion Drive. 

The home was built in memory of Matthews resident Sandy Marano, who lost her battle with breast cancer in October 2016. Marano served as the charity’s family services coordinator for many years. 

New homeowners, Gabriel and Pauline, have given more than 400 hours of “sweat equity” in exchange for a $0 down, interest-free mortgage.  

Since 1989, Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity has provided decent homes with an affordable mortgage to help lower-income families obtain self-sufficiency. Families help build their home alongside volunteers and make mortgage payments.
