"Going Local" Update: Land Has Been Purchased for Two New Homes

The Service and Missions Committee is thrilled to announce a lot of progress on our new mission, "Going Local"! We have partnered with Mosaic Church to help provide affordable housing for single-parent families and senior citizens in the Clarksville area. The Going Local Initiative primarily focuses on rehabilitation of single-family housing and construction of multi-family housing.

The city of Clarksville has provided a piece of property on Richardson Street where two houses can be built. The house buyers will be single parents that would not qualify for typical mortgages. Working with Legends Bank, the buyers will work to improve their credit and to budget their funds. The City Council recently finalized the transfer of the land, and the old house there has been demolished. Funding for this first project is all through grants from the city. 

As we proceed beyond this project, we will use funds from the house sales to purchase additional land and build more homes for single parent families and seniors. Interested buyers can complete a pre-application before September 16 to be in a lottery drawing on September 19!
