St. Joseph County Habitat for Humanity announced plans for their 2021 work project Wednesday. The goal? Building 22 new, single‑family homes and a neighborhood park at the Fields at Highland subdivision at the corner of East Jefferson Boulevard and North Byrkit Avenue in Mishawaka.
That’s the same neighborhood that was involved in the 2018 Carter work project. Officials hope to get 12 of those homes and the park built during the weeklong push, which runs Sept. 20 to 24.
Habitat also plans to conduct critical repairs on up to 30 owner occupied homes in South Bend as part of the group’s Aging In Place program for seniors and the Veteran Repair Program.
