\"\"Orlando, Fla. (March 14, 2017)<\/strong> \u2013 Habitat for Humanity of Greater Orlando<\/a> will break ground on the organization\u2019s third planned community, Arbor Bend, which will feature 34 homes upon completion in 2019. In addition, Habitat for Humanity of Seminole County and Greater Apopka<\/a> will break ground on Juniper Bend, a 24-home community. Together, both organizations will bring 58 single-family homes to the South Apopka.<\/p>\n

The ground breaking event will take place at 1221 S. Washington Avenue on March 16, 2017 at 9 a.m. The event will feature remarks from Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs; Mayor of Apopka Joe Kilsheimer and Francina Boykin from the Apopka Historical Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cArbor Bend and Juniper Bend represent new beginnings and we are excited that it is a collaborative effort bringing affordable housing to the South Apopka community,\u201d said Catherine Steck McManus, president and CEO of Habitat Greater Orlando.<\/p>\n

Affordable housing in the South Apopka area is being made possible as a result of a public and private partnership with Orange County Government, Homes in Partnership, Habitat Greater Orlando and Habitat Seminole-Apopka. All four entities are working collaboratively to restore hope among local residents that have expressed the project is a long time coming. Orange County Government is utilizing $724,000 of INVEST funds<\/a> for construction activities related to the site development.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the greatest challenges for many families \u2013 both here and across the U.S. \u2013 is the lack of sufficient affordable housing and rental options,\u201d said Mayor Jacobs. \u201cThis affordable housing partnership in Apopka is just one example of Orange County\u2019s solid commitment to strategically expanding our housing options.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Penny Seater, executive director of Habitat Seminole-Apopka, \u201cHomeownership creates generational change for both the families and the community and a project of this size will have significant impact for Apopka.\u201d<\/p>\n
