Arnold, MD. (February 2007) –
Arundel Habitat is proud to announce an agreement with gotügo, a local portable restroom solutions company located in Glen Burnie, Maryland, will donate all of the portable restroom needs for all of our building sites. “Our annual goals for building new, affordable homes in Anne Arundel County and the South Baltimore communities of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay are ambitious,” says Board Chairman Joe Allwein, “We depend on the commitment of socially responsible companies like gotügo who are willing to give back to the community with a much needed and valued service.”
According to Dan Ellis, Arundel Habitat’s executive director, his organization has been ramping up their efforts and plans to build 14 new homes in 2008, up from 12 in 2007. “Our homes are built with a lot of community volunteers, and through a lot of hard work by the homeowners themselves, but some aspects really need the expertise from professional trades.
Arundel Habitat for Humanity builds affordable homes for low-income families who currently live in sub-standard or inadequate housing in Anne Arundel County and the communities of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay in South Baltimore. Applicant families are selected to become homeowners based on a number of criteria, including household income, which must be between $17,000 and $38,000 per year. Habitat families invest up to 400 sweat equity hours working on their own homes or on other Habitat houses. They purchase their Habitat houses through no-profit, no interest loans.
