Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley has broken ground on its 62nd home, which will be built for the Cornejo family.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held Sunday, May 31, at the future home site on Brown Street in East Rome. Habitat officials say the project marks an important step toward providing the family with safe, affordable housing and long-term stability.

Executive Director Betsy Allgood said the home represents more than walls and a roof, calling it a foundation for stability, opportunity, and hope.

Habitat homes are built through partnerships involving volunteers, donors, community organizations, and the future homeowners themselves.

Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley serves Floyd, Chattooga, and Polk counties. More information about volunteer opportunities or ways to support the organization is available at habitatcoosavalley.org.
