Mark the calendar – February 12 was a BANNER DAY! We are FINALLY broke ground on Hope Springs, our historic 10-home development in Saugerties!
This is the moment we’ve been working toward since the land dedication ceremony in November. Hope Springs represents something unprecedented: the first Habitat-led development in New York State built from woods to cul-de-sac. Ten families. Ten homes. One transformative neighborhood.
Huge shout out to Anthony Roddy from Service Excavation who is always at the ready to support our mission! When we need heavy equipment, expertise, and unwavering commitment to affordable housing – Anthony shows up. Thank you for being a partner who doesn’t just talk about community support – you literally move mountains (and earth!) to make it happen.
From empty land to foundation-ready lots – this is where Hope Springs begins.
From this snowy February day will rise a neighborhood where Ulster County families can build equity, stability, and futures.
The housing crisis is real. Our response is real. And today, Hope Springs becomes more than a vision – it becomes construction in progress.
