Oskaloosa, Iowa – Mahaska County Habitat for Humanity broke ground on its newest project this week.

The home will be located at  603 North D Street in Oskaloosa, and is being built in partnership with Angela Fenton and her three children.

The nonprofit Christian housing ministry started off the groundbreaking ceremony with a prayer, and was followed by a description of the Fenton’s future home. The home will be approximately 1600 square-feet and be built upon a concrete slab. It will feature two baths and  four bedrooms.

Terry Anderson, with Mahaska County Habitat for Humanity, said the goal is to be weather-tight before the weather gets nasty.

A variance meeting is being held October 2nd to discuss the needed variances. This happens before the permits are issued for construction to begin.

To support upcoming builds, or to volunteer your time on this build, please contact Bryce Abbas, Executive Director, at 641.295.5805 or director@mahaskahfh.org. Monetary donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 583, Oskaloosa, Iowa, 52577.
