Midland Habitat for Humanity Dedicates 194th House in Program’s History
Home funded by the JC Ferguson Foundation and Midland Habitat for Humanity
Odessa, TX - On Thursday November 30, 2023 Midland Habitat for Humanity (MHFH)
dedicated its 194th house, located in the 400 block of Lindy Ave., to a deserving homeowner.
Funding for the home was made available by the JC Ferguson Foundation and MHFH. The lot
was made available for purchase by the Ector County Independent School District to MHFH at
cost.

Joey Hopkins, MHFH Executive Director, said “We are thrilled to have celebrated our third home
dedication in Odessa this year! The growth of our program in Odessa is extremely important to
us. We are truly grateful to have exceptional community partners like ECISD, the City of Odessa
and the JC Ferguson Foundation.”

MHFH is one of the premier institutions responsible for constructing affordable housing in the
Permian Basin. The organization’s partnership model offers deserving, hard-working families a
hand-up. MHFH uses a rigorous qualifying process that includes progress from the application
through homeownership. Each participant contributes a minimum of 350 hours of “sweat equity”
on the worksite and completes a homeownership education program. Successful candidates are
then awarded a 0% interest mortgage, making homeownership a reality for some of the most
deserving families in the Permian Basin.

Anyone interested in supporting MHFH’s efforts in the Permian Basin can contact Jeff Meyers,
Chief of Staff, at 432-686-8877.

Midland Habitat for Humanity is a Christian based non-profit organization that builds homes for low-income families trapped in
substandard housing. Homeowners make house payments to Habitat with a 0% interest, 25-year mortgage. These house payments
go into a fund to build more homes. For more information visit www.habitatmidland.org or call 432-686-8877.
