Habitat for Humanity Building in Vegas
The wire is reporting that the City of Las Vegas awarded seven building lots to Habitat for Humanity, which responded to a request for proposal issued by the city’s Neighborhood Service Department. Guy Amato, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas, said Habitat for Humanity plans to build seven single family homes on the site at Lake Mead and Losee in the city’s fifth ward. Councilman Lawrence Weekly was instrumental in bringing the opportunity forward though the RFP process, Amato said.
Families are required to assist in the construction of their homes with at least 250 hours of volunteer labor from each adult in the household. Habitat for Humanity has built more than 33 homes in the Vegas Heights community over the past 15 years.
Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas is a not-for-profit organization that builds decent, affordable housing with the help of volunteer labor and donated time and materials and funds. Established in Clark County in 1991, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas has completed 52 homes.
