Lawrence CDC is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis to build new homes in Lawrence in 2014 and 2015.
Between August and October 2014, Habitat’s volunteers, staff, and key contractors have built two new homes on vacant lots on Vernon Avenue where a dilapidated home was demolished several years ago.
We’re grateful for the support of the City of Lawrence and Lawrence Utilities.
