LowCountry Habitat for Humanity reached an important milestone when it dedicated its 50th home build earlier this month.

The organization’s 25th anniversary home, located at 904 Greene Street, was dedicated to Brandi Hussmann and her family on Monday, Oct. 1.

Fran Calvert and Anne Helm co-chaired the 25th anniversary fund drive and event for the project to commemorate LowCountry Habitat’s 25 years of providing affordable housing in Northern Beaufort County. Lowcountry Real Estate partnered as Honorary Chair and First Federal Bank was the premier sponsor for the event.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>

With the support of the Beaufort community working together to make this project a reality, the 25th anniversary build provided a hand-up to homeownership to Habitat Family Partner Brandi Hussmann, a single mother of one child who has guardianship of her nephew and two nieces that will join them living in their new home on Greene Street.

An excited crowd of approximately 75 people joined in the home dedication. Attendees were introduced to Hussmann and her family and learned the story behind the home. Pastor Shannon Mullen from St. John’s Lutheran Church provided the home blessing, and Edward Dukes and John Trask from LowCountry Real Estate presented Hussmann and her family with the keys to their new home and a Bible.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>

“We enjoyed having the opportunity to build in the Northwest Quadrant and look forward to continuing our partnership with the city of Beaufort as we begin construction on our next two houses located on property in the Mossy Oaks neighborhood that was generously donated to us by the city,” Executive Director Chet Houston said.
