Escambia County and Pensacola Habitat for Humanity are hosting ribbon cuttings next week to celebrate 14 new affordable homes, as part of a partnership between Escambia County and Pensacola Habitat to provide more affordable housing to residents in need.
The homes were sold by Pensacola Habitat for Humanity to eligible buyers at or below 80% Area Median Income in order of approved applications, connecting these buyers with brand-new homes in Escambia County and the City of Pensacola.
“Affordable housing is a vital need for so many people in our community, and I am excited to have the opportunity to change the lives of these 14 individuals and families through homeownership,” District 3 Commissioner Lumon May said. “On behalf of Escambia County, I’d like to congratulate each one of these homeowners as they begin this exciting next chapter of their lives, and I wish them many wonderful memories in their brand-new homes.”
