It s building season for Habitat for Humanity and three houses are being finished up in the Ypsilanti area. Two houses are on Monroe, in the city, and one on Harvest Lane in Superior Township. Wilson has not owned a house before. She has been in a rental in Parkview since it was built.
Nurses come in to help, as well as another daughter and a granddaughter.
Wilson heard about Habitat from a neighbor who knew her daughter is very sick. Wilson applied for a house, and was approved for an interest-free loan. Another person besides the home purchaser can do 200 of the 400 hours, she said. Sweat equity is a requirement for people getting Habitat houses. The money pays for material and property.
