HII Breaks Ground for 22nd Habitat for Humanity Home Sponsored by Newport News Shipbuilding
30 5월 2024 - 3:45AM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division joined elected
officials and community leaders today at a groundbreaking ceremony
for the 22nd Habitat for Humanity home sponsored by the shipyard
since 2002.
The groundbreaking marks the start of construction on the home,
which shipyard volunteers are joining forces with Habitat for
Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg to build. In keeping
with shipbuilding heritage, NNS designates a “sponsor” for each
home. David Horne, vice president of trades, is the sponsor for the
22nd home.
“Construction is a science and an art, whether you’re building a
ship or a house,” Horne said. “The tools and materials may be a
little different, but the builders’ dedication and pride is the
same. Our shipbuilders are proud to support our Navy sailors and
we’re proud to build this home.”
Horne also recognized the family of the late Jim Cochran in
attendance at the groundbreaking. Cochran, a retired shipbuilder
who dedicated more than 40 years to the shipyard, was a longtime
Habitat for Humanity volunteer. NNS is dedicating the build of the
home in his memory.
The three-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot home will take shape in the
Southeast community of Newport News on land donated by the Newport
News Redevelopment and Housing Authority.

“At a time when the demand for affordable housing is greater
than ever, we couldn’t be more thrilled to start construction on
this home,” said Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity
Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg. “Through the unwavering support
of Newport News Shipbuilding, we’ve changed countless lives since
this partnership began.”
Latesha, a mother of five daughters who is currently working on
her master’s degree, has been selected as the homebuyer by Habitat
for Humanity. She will be required to maintain steady employment
and good credit and provide 400 hours of “sweat equity” to help
build the home. Once construction is complete, she will purchase
the home from Habitat with a 30-year, no-interest mortgage, which
illustrates Habitat’s objective to give families a “hand up” rather
than a “hand out.” The payments will cycle back into the community
so more homes can be built for qualifying families.
Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg is a
non-profit organization serving the cities of Hampton, Newport
News, Poquoson and Williamsburg and the counties of Charles City,
James City, New Kent and York. For more information, visit
