Veteran Build 2010

In the fall of 2010, Show Me Central Habitat For Humanity teamed up with VA Mortgage Center.com for the Veteran Build 2010. We are very excited to announce that we have completed and dedicated the home to Chris Ruff and his wife Anne. Chris served in the Army, and both he and his wife are very excited for this opportunity.

In 1994 HFH purchased land and developed the infrastructure -- streets, sewers, curbs for a subdivision. Norbury Hills is located on Oakland Gravel Road in Northeast Columbia and is named after Lee Norbury one of the founders of the local affiliate. Norbury Hills is a 28 Lot Subdivision-a total of 27 of the lots will be used for houses and one will be turned into a park and is currently in the completion phase with 4 houses to be built.

Currently a neighborhood associate and residents of the subdivision say a feeling of community is growing among Norbury's diverse population. The neighboord includes family from Rwanda, Eritrea, India, Cambodia, Mexico, Missouri and more including a hurricane survivor.
