Two more Marathon families are happily ensconced in new homes. The official move-in date was at the end of July, and the normal dedication ceremony was converted into a virtual affair this August (view the dedication). 

The Keys Weekly Newspaper ran an article recently with additional detail. “As the current board president I am privileged to have a great board and executive team to be able to provide home ownership to our hard working locals which is both affordable and safe place to raise their families,” said John Johnson, also Marathon’s fire chief. “ Last week we finished 4 units that will house those families. We look forward to building our community for years to come. The newest Habitat development is located in midtown Marathon. Two families have already moved in, and a third is on the cusp. Habitat of the Middle Keys is accepting pre-qualified applicants for the fourth. Download and print the 2-page prequalified application form from HabitatMiddleKeys.org, complete it, scan it and send it back to fsm@habitatmiddlekeys.org. Hard copies can also be picked up outside the Marathon office located at 8055 Overseas Highway in Marathon. Call 305-743-9828 for questions.
