Town of Ashland Support
On Tuesday, Sep. 20th, 2022, Ashland Town Council presented a check in the amount of $100,000 to Renee Robinson, Executive Director of Hanover and King William Habitat for Humanity. This funding was made possible by the Town's American Rescue Plan Act funds. This project is being supported, in part, by federal award number VA NEU 0008 awarded to the Town of Ashland, by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Habitat will be using these funds towards the purchase and renovation of the project on Dewey Street in Ashland. This is a fire-damaged home that has been vacant for almost two years. Habitat is excited to renovate it and sell it at an affordable price to a homeowner in our program. Habitat would not be able to afford to purchase this home and renovate it without the Town’s support through this ARPA funding.
