quality home for a family in Westland.
Demolition and repair sets the stage
for rebuilding a quality home under the
auspices of Habitat for Humanity of
Western Wayne County.

development. She came by while were
working in hopes of seeing her home again and the new family who will be moving in when it
is finished.

"As I walked through my old home today, I had many memories, good memories ," she said. "I
wanted to tell the new family about what a great neighborhood this is, quiet and friendly."
Loretta is happy to see the home
restored. "I think it is wonderful that the
home is being brought back to what it
should be," she said. "I am very happy
a new family is going to be living here."

Western Wayne is one of over eighty
Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the
state of Michigan, formed in 1995.  By
the end of 2010, fifty partner families
will be transitioned from substandard
housing to decent, affordable housing
located in Canton Township, Inkster,
Lincoln Park, Romulus, Taylor and Van
Buren. This year, the work is being
done on houses in Garden City,
Inkster, Wayne, Westland and Taylor.
