[July 01, 2010]  The keys weren't to a city, but they were the keys to fulfill someone's dream of homeownership.

InsuranceWednesday afternoon, Mike Eads, administrator at St. Clara's Manor in Lincoln, handed over the keys and the property at 503 N. Adams to Habitat for Humanity of Logan County.

Eads said the home being donated to Habitat was the right thing to do, and he even personally offered to help in the rehab of the house, which should begin this fall.

Co-chairs of this project will be Steve Allen and Mike Kubat of the Habitat board.

Allen will also head up the work crews for the project.

The new homeowner has already been approved, and according to Tonita Reifsteck, Brandy Mullenbach has already fulfilled her hours of service required to be eligible for a Habitat home.

Allen, who is with the Logan County Housing Authority, said it is hoped the home will be finished by the spring of 2011.

Allen said that Habitat is also accepting applications from area residents who want to be considered for a Habitat home. Anyone interested can visit his office at 1028 N. College to pick up an application or they can call 732-7776.

Habitat member George Dahmm pointed out that the Habitat produce location at 915 Woodlawn Road would have sweet corn for sale beginning Friday, with the very popular Calhoun peaches just a few weeks away.

Proceeds from the produce stand go to fund Habitat projects.
