In conversations with Habitat Philadelphia's many supporters, questions about building costs, property acquisition, as well as some about why we do what we do the way we do it, have come up. In response, over the next several months, Habitat Philadelphia invites you to follow the building of a Habitat home from beginning to end. Entitled House Story, this series will highlight the process we have in place from site acquisition through to the settlement table with homeowners. In the end, we hope that you will have a better understanding of the challenges we face, as well as the many successes we achieve on a regular basis. All of the installments in this series will be available on our website throughout its run. We look forward to your feedback on the series and on our program.
