Dear Carolyn,

It's amazing to me that another month has passed and I leave the month so grateful to all our community members for their gifts of time, talent and treasure.

At our 75 Tenth Street home build in Leominster, we had wonderful crews including IC Credit Union (picture above), Saginaw Valley State University for six days, and some fantastic Women Build teams including NCMAR helping us to install the fence, finish the exterior and clean up the landscaping. The LCTEi students have also been working very hard to complete the rough plumbing and electrical work so that we can start on finish work this summer.

The 12 Newton Street, Ayer homes are in a similar stage with Nashoba Valley Tech finishing up the rough electric and plumbing in both homes while volunteers including Acton Congregational Church, Union Congregational Church, Agilon Health and Brown & Brown have helped with sealing all joints, installing windows, and completing the exterior before the siding goes up. With the help of some amazing local subcontractors and tradespeople, we also completed four critical home repair projects this month and now have four more in process as well as eight projects in the scheduling phase.

I am very excited to announce that our newest future homeowner was selected early in the month! Gwen signed her Letter of Intent of May 6th, started working on her sweat equity hours right away, and she as well as her three children are incredibly excited for their new home at 75 Tenth Street.

Be sure to check out our upcoming events below and sign up to attend or be a sponsor. Please also consider donating here to help us to buy materials for our busy summer building season!

Thank you for all the good that you do and for helping your neighbors have a safe and decent place to live.

With gratitude,

Carolyn
