597 Wareham Road, Plymouth

As we celebrate the success of the completion of 47 Indian Ave (see below), we are excited to announce the launch of our newest affordable home build project and the selection of our next partner family! At 597 Wareham Road in South Plymouth, a modest 2-bedroom house is ready for transformation. With the help of our dedicated volunteers and the support of our community, this home will soon become a place of security and comfort for Jacquelyn, a hardworking Massachusetts DCR Ranger, and her daughter, Fallyn.

In the coming months, this property will be completely revitalized, but its impact will extend far beyond the physical transformation of the property. It will be a place where a mother and daughter can grow and thrive, surrounded by the support of a community that believes in the power of coming together for a greater cause.

Meet Our Future Homeowner: Jacquelyn

Jacquelyn, who grew up in Hanson, Massachusetts, has always had a passion for horses. She moved to Plymouth at a young age, knowing that she wanted to build a life centered around her love of animals. Determined to share her passion with others, Jacquelyn started her own equine business, offering lessons, training, and show services. “I loved what I was doing,” she recalls. “I wanted to make it affordable for families who might not otherwise get the chance to experience horseback riding, and I’d do whatever I could to help supplement the costs for those who needed it.” However, the financial realities of running the business were difficult. Leasing properties and managing overhead costs became overwhelming, but Jacquelyn pressed on because of her deep love for the sport and her desire to make it accessible to others.

Indian Avenue Project: Complete!

We're happy to report that our newest Habitat partner family is comfortably settled into their new home and the girls will be starting the school year in their brand new space! This small, abandoned cottage in the heart of Manomet was an old military barracks in World War II on Cape Cod. The structure was relocated to the area in the 1950's where it was used primarily as a summer home for several generations of a family before passing ownership to Habitat for Humanity. 

Our incredible volunteers and corporate partners dedicated their time and skills to breathe new life into the existing structure. Over 400 volunteers gave more than 6,000 hours taking the original cottage down to the studs, constructing a 2-story addition with full basement on the back of the home, and converting the space into a safe, affordable, 3-bedroom home for a Navy Veteran, his wife, and their two young daughters. 

We would like to give our sincere thanks to everyone who helped us with this project, including individual volunteers, community and corporate groups, civic organizations, corporate partners, donors, and Habitat staff! This home has been a true testament to our incredible community and what we can accomplish together.
