REGULAR MEETING MAY 12, 1987 through a local fund for that purpose. Construction is a cooperative effort between volunteers and home buyers. The Board of Directors has set up a non-discriminitory family selection process and will make sure the houses are affordable to the needy and sold on the no -profit, no -interest basis. Habitat of St. Joseph County has been given a house, presently located at 1215 South Michigan Street with the provision that the house be moved off the lot this summer.
