Today's editorial cheers Habitat for Humanity's six-home Builders' Blitz this week while expressing regret that more such affordable housing initiatives can't quickly happen:
"That's God at work."
- Habitat homeowner
It does seem miraculous that six local families of modest means soon will be moving into homes of their own, even though uncertainty clogs the local economy. With the organizational help of Habitat for Humanity of Horry County, local contractors and construction workers have built six new homes since Monday. The final home should be occupant-ready by twilight time today.
The only thing wrong with this project is that Habitat, by itself, can't quickly organize more of them to meet the demand for decent stick-built homes. All around our communities, hardworking families yearn for affordable housing - a problem private and public leaders in our communities should try to resolve.
