Habitat for Humanity unveils 5 new modular homes in Bellaire-Puritas
Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity has dedicated five new modular homes on Matherson Avenue in the Bellaire-Puritas neighborhood.
Why it matters: Modular homes, which can be built quickly and affordably, are being constructed in higher numbers to combat Cleveland's housing shortage.
The big picture: The new properties unveiled last Saturday are part of Habitat's local 400 Home Initiative, a new-build and renovation effort through 2027, and represent the first multi-home construction project in Cleveland's Ward 11 since 2005.
What they're saying: "The dedication of these five modular homes helped five families achieve homeownership and take a big step toward financial security, and I'm proud to have been a part of it," said area Councilman Danny Kelly in a statement.
By the numbers: The Cleveland City Council awarded Greater Cleveland Habitat $5 million in pandemic stimulus funds. Each Ward 11 home received $90,000 of that allocation.
