Huntington Area HFH

Celebrating 20 years of building hope, building homes for families in our community

Huntington Area Habitat for Humanity's 71st house was built in partnership with the Cabell County Career Technology Center (CCCTC) and the Cabell County Board of Education (CCBOE).

Students from the CCCTC built the house from start to finish. Both high school and adult students from all of the center's programs received classroom training, and then applied those skills in construction of the project. Interior design students worked with the partner family to select colors and coordinate materials inside the house. HVAC students worked on heating cooling systems, and the building construction classes helped put the structure together.
Because of the unique nature of this project, this site was limited to students from the CCCTC. The dedication for the 71st Habitat house was held on May 25.

Our affiliate’s 72nd house was built in loving memory of the late Rev. Mark McCalla.
Pastor McCalla, the former minister at Highlawn Presbyterian Church, had a hope of one day building a home for Habitat for Humanity. Even though that day never came for him, the vision he had has became a reality.
Volunteers from several local churches (Highlawn Presbyterian, First Presbyterian, Enslow Park Presbyterian and Highlawn Baptist) came together to work on the home. The dedication for our 72nd Habitat home was held in April 2010.

Our 73rd Habitat home is currently under construction, and the ground breaking for our 74th home is planned for Mid-June.
