etc. One-third will be marketrate entry-level buyers. The housing will be a mix of single story 3-bedroom houses and two story 4-bedroom houses. The architectural design of the houses will be in the style of a Craftsman bungalow. Design elements such as shingles and material accents will be used to add variation, visual interest, and color to the exteriors. The neighborhood will feature community building amenities such as
front porches, sidewalks, and a park-like green space with a playground, picnic tables, and a walking path. “Homeownership is the foundation of healthy families and communities,” Peninger said. “We are excited to be able to provide affordable housing – housing that families can afford based on their income – in Belmont. When families have a safe and stable home it provides many benefits such as a stable home life, their chil-
dren do better in school, and they have improved health. Homeownership also contributes to breaking the cycle of poverty as families have the opportunity to build equity in their home. Habitat for Humanity of Gaston County is committed to accomplishing this project and serving more families. We have a strong project team in place that will result in a charming and attractive neighborhood.”
