Steuben County Habitat for Humanity dedicates renovated home to family
CORNING, N.Y. (WETM) — A Habitat for Humanity house in Steuben County is soon to be a new home for a family in Corning.
The Steuben County Habitat for Humanity dedicated its 40th habitat home to a new family on Ontario Street. It is the second time a family will be staying at the house since the previous habitat family sold it in 2023.

Community Outreach Director for Steuben County Habitat for Humanity Joy Overacker stated that the home underwent renovations in 2024 to the interior and exterior of the property. The additions included a new roof, driveway, heat system, and home appliances that were put together by volunteers during the process.
'They're getting a wonderful home that's safe, has all new everything and we'll last them the rest of their lives. They call these their forever homes,' Overacker said. 'I think that for habitat families, it's a sense of security, it's a sense of independence. They are able to do what they want. It's their home. They're not renting. They don't have to rely on somebody else to fix things.
According to Overacker, a family of two people was selected to be the new owners of the home. She also mentioned that the Steuben County Habitat for Humanity is planning to work on homes in Bath and East Corning this year.
