MARYVILLE, Mo. — A new home on South Mulberry Street in Maryville marks a significant milestone for Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County, as the organization celebrates the completion of its 13th home built since 2004.
The local chapter is part of Habitat for Humanity, a nationwide nonprofit Christian organization that uses volunteer labor, donated materials, and a pay-it-forward financial model to provide affordable housing. Partner families contribute labor toward the build and purchase the homes through zero-interest mortgages, with their payments supporting future projects.
The latest home was awarded to Hilary Steinman, who met the employment and financial criteria required by the organization. She was overcome with emotion when Habitat Board members delivered the news.
The new residence is approximately 1,340 square feet, featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was constructed in partnership with students from the Northwest Technical School’s building trades program, continuing a collaboration that began in 2020.
To celebrate the project and thank community partners, Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County is hosting an open house on Saturday, June 21 at 10 a.m.. For more information, visit nodawayhabitat.org.
