Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter, in collaboration with Leesburg High School, is set to begin construction on a new home in Coleman, Florida, as part of their ongoing Youth Construction Academy initiative. This year’s project will be launched with a special celebration for the students at Leesburg High School.
The Youth Construction Academy, now in its sixth year of partnership with Leesburg High School, provides students with hands-on experience in building a home from the ground up. This year’s home build is proudly sponsored by RoMac Building Supply, a key community partner.
Construction on the new home will take place throughout the school year, from September to May. Upon completion, a dedication ceremony will be held in May, where the keys to the newly built home will be presented to a family who has successfully completed Habitat’s Home Ownership program. This program not only provides students with career-ready skills but also supports local families in achieving the dream of homeownership.
