Thanks Alys Beach and Walton County Habitat for Humanity!
Walton County Habitat for Humanity dedicated their 37th home Monday, August 31, 2015 at 3:30 p.m. in Freeport. The home was dedicated to the Quinton family— a single mother of two expecting her third child. Quinton was previously on a governmental housing assistance program and now is a self-sufficient homeowner, making this the 10th homeowner Habitat has helped with a “hand up” to get off local governmental programs in the past three years.
Alys Beach was the leading force behind completing the Quinton home with many employees pouring their own hours, sweat and tears into the project. With assistance from Alys Beach and their recruited vendors, Habitat for Humanity of Walton County saved over $34,000 in labor costs — a savings that can put back into our community making more homes a reality for more families.
"All of us at Alys Beach are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside one another for our community,” said Brian Spence, Vice President of Residential Construction. “Working on the Habitat for Humanity house was an invaluable experience for our team, and it’s incredible to see the immediate impact of our efforts on the community and the Quinton family.”
A year ago the property contained a run down trailer infested with black mold and other irreparable damage, and now is a brand new home for the Quinton family. The employees of Alys Beach took time away from their jobs during a busy season to work on this Habitat for Humanity home. They took on the task of pouring the foundation and framing this house to make this family's dream become a reality. In addition, Alys Beach recruited companies like System Service and Engineering to donate their time and efforts to install the plumbing and HVAC.
“We are happy to do our part in providing decent affordable housing in Walton County,” says Teresa Imdieke, Executive Director of Walton County Habitat for Humanity. “Our efforts not only impact our families but the local community as well as driving business, creating jobs and increasing local property values."
