Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity breaks ground on new development in Historic Downtown Jonesboro
Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity is proud to announce the groundbreaking of an exciting new development in Historic Downtown Jonesboro, GA! This project marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide families with the opportunity to achieve their dream of homeownership, helping them build stronger, more stable futures.
The new development will allow us to build three beautiful homes on the land, giving hardworking families a fresh start. This project not only supports our mission but also enhances the vibrancy and history of the Jonesboro community. We are honored to play a role in revitalizing this treasured area while helping families build the foundation for a brighter tomorrow.
Meet Marinda
One of our future homeowners, Marinda was present at the groundbreaking, and her excitement was truly contagious. Marinda, who is expecting her baby girl in November, shared her joy and relief in knowing that she will soon have a stable, safe place to call home for her growing family. Standing on the lot where her future home will be an amazing feeling for her. As a dedicated participant in our homeownership program, she has put in the time and effort to make this dream a reality, and we are thrilled to support her on this life-changing journey.
As we move forward with construction, we’re reminded that each nail, brick, and beam represents the hopes and dreams of families like Miranda’s. Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity is committed to continuing our work in creating affordable housing and strengthening communities, and we couldn’t do it without the support of partners, volunteers, and donors.
We are deeply grateful to the City of Jonesboro, Clayton County HUD, former City Manager Ricky Clark, and former Mayor of Jonesboro, Joy Day for their dedication to making this possible. We are excited for what the future holds for the upcoming residents of Historic Downtown Jonesboro and their families.
