Groundbreaking Ceremony Recap
We had a wonderful turnout at the Groundbreaking Ceremony for our Leander Street Cottages project! Debbie Phillips opened with a heartfelt prayer, and we celebrated the volunteers, partners, and supporters who make this work possible—including a special shout-out to longtime volunteer Shirley Harmes.
We were grateful to have David Gillian from Texas Baptist Children’s Home share remarks, and future homeowner Ashley Fordinal spoke about her journey toward affordable homeownership.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting milestone—we’re one step closer to helping another family build a safe, stable place to call home!
Shepherd’s Village Groundbreaking Ceremony, April 12, 2025
Supporters, donors, and volunteers gathered together on April 12, 2025 in Georgetown, TX to support our affiliate’s long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony for the first two homes of our Shepherd’s Village development.
“Best day in a long time,” a Habitat key volunteer comments, “we are in the home building business again.”
In 2020, HFHWC utilized individual donations and grant funding to purchase a 1-acre lot between 21st and 22nd Streets in southeast Georgetown. Schematics for the 12-condo home development (named in honor of the Shepherd family, who contributed the largest portion of the purchase price of the land) were created and plans were submitted to the City of Georgetown shortly after. However, numerous setbacks resulted in delays with this project, causing HFHWC to halt its development.
However, plans were finally approved this month, allowing HFHWC to officially move forward with its first condo community and continue its mission of creating and sustaining affordable homeownership in Williamson County.
