Dedication of the new home at 705 E. Main in Knoxville was held on May 19 at 10 am. Our newest Habitat family, Ashley Norton and Justin Craycraft and their son, celebrated the completion of their home. Knoxville High School Construction Trades students and their teacher Jordan Downing built the entire house (except for required licensed trades) as a school year project. This house uses a new floor plan for HFHMCI, which is a split level home with 3 bedrooms up and a half basement. Click on the picture for more photos. Additional photos are on our Facebook page (click on link at lower right of this page) and will be added to the website soon.
 
Habitat Bids Farewell to Lisa Houser Print
Board members of Habitat for Humanity of Marion County bid farewell to Executive Director Lisa Houser at the April 23 Board meeting. Houser has accepted the position as Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Iowa beginning May 7. As ED of HFH Iowa, her primary duties will be to leverage resources to assist local Habitat affiliates in serving more families. Her initial charge will be to strengthen partnerships with affiliates, develop new funding strategies, and serve as an advocate for Habitat's mission across the state.

We thank Lisa for her four years of service and leadership in Marion County, and wish her well as she applies those same abilities across a wider service area!
 
Habitat Welcomes New Staff Member Print
HFHMCI recently hired Lisa Crabbs as their Community Outreach Director. This position is being funded through a Capacity Building grans from Habitat for Humanity International, to be used to help Habitat affiliates expand their ability to raise funds, build more houses, and serve more families. In addition to being an advocate for affordable housing, Crabbs will also work with Board members and committee volunteers in the areas of public relations, event planning, volunteer relations, and community development. "Marion County has an exceptional attitude toward volunteering that I haven't experienced in other places," Crabbs said. She looks forward to meeting with business and community leaders to spread the Habitat message.

Crabbs was most recently working as a Housing Planner for Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments in Waterloo, where she administered local, state and federal housing grants for low- to moderate-income households in the six-county region.
