Habitat for Humanity – Coosa Valley will celebrate a major milestone with the groundbreaking of its 62nd home this Saturday, January 10 at 11:00 a.m. at 510 Nixon Ave, Rome, GA 30161, in South Rome. The event highlights continued momentum in providing affordable homeownership opportunities across Northwest Georgia.

The milestone follows the recent dedication of Habitat Coosa Valley’s 61st home in North Rome, underscoring strong community support and volunteer engagement.

In Chattooga County, Habitat Coosa Valley is offering homeowner information sessions for residents interested in learning more about its homeownership program. The sessions are designed to help potential applicants understand program requirements and the steps toward owning an affordable home. Two sessions are planned in Summerville:

• January 22 at 6:00 p.m. — Chattooga County Civic Center, 44 Hwy 48, Summerville

• February 4 at 10:00 a.m. — Community Resource Center of Chattooga, 50 Eleanor Ave., Summerville

In addition to these local sessions, applications for the 2026 homeownership cycle are open through February 27, 2026. Prospective homeowners are required to attend an information session before submitting an application, available at habitatcoosavalley.org or in person at the Habitat ReStore, 504 East First Ave, Rome, GA.

Habitat homeowners actively partner in building their own homes alongside volunteers, contributing “sweat equity” to strengthen both homes and community ties.

Habitat for Humanity – Coosa Valley serves Floyd, Chattooga, and Polk Counties in Northwest Georgia, working to expand access to safe, decent, and affordable housing throughout the region.
