James Street Project Reaches Major Milestone with Duplex Delivery
On February 4 and 5, a modular duplex was delivered and installed on the foundation at our James Street site, marking a major milestone in this project. Over the coming weeks, our Construction Team and dedicated volunteers will begin the process of completing the homes in preparation for welcoming two new homeowners.
