Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County has been awarded two grants from the State of Connecticut for a combined total of $1,725,000 toward the creation of twenty-three homes in the City of Bridgeport, CT. These funds represent approximately 50% of the total costs related to the acquisition of the properties and construction of these new homes. Habitat CFC must still raise considerable funds through private sources in order to fully cover the costs related to the creation of these homes. The homes that will be constructed as a result of these grants will all be purchased by first time homeowners with annual earnings under 60% of the area median income. It is anticipated that the homes will be completed by the end of 2017.
