Senator Coons presents house keys to Mays family
On Friday, Senator Coons attended Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County’s Pavilion Home Dedication, where seven new homes for deserving families were dedicated at 5th and DuPont Streets in Wilmington.
At the dedication, Chris presented the Mays family with keys to their new home. Tiffany Mays is a single mother of four who has been raising her children in a cramped apartment badly in need of repairs. Today, her family moves into clean, safe, affordable housing.
The Mays’ new house, and the other six Pavilion Homes located in Wilmington’s Little Italy, were built through a partnership of Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County and Cornerstone West, a division of West End Neighborhood House. The new homes are equipped with off-street parking, central air and full-size washers and dryers.
“When the Mays family turned the key to their new home, it marked a new beginning,” Chris said. “We are grateful to Habitat for Humanity for bringing people together in the spirit of fellowship, faith and community. This is a wonderful day for the Mays family and the other new homeowners.”
Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County has been building affordable housing for low-income residents since 1986. They are one of the top three largest Habitat affiliates out of over 200 in the Northeast, with over 185 houses built in New Castle County. June is National Homeownership Month.
