YouthBuild Students Participate in Groundbreaking for Wexford County Habitat for Humanity Home
Students from YouthBuild Northwest in Cadillac took part in a groundbreaking ceremony April 2 for a new Wexford County Habitat for Humanity home in Manton. The students will help build the new home with construction scheduled to begin in mid-May. The students are already working on another Habitat for Humanity home in Cadillac and recently helped finish putting the siding on that home.
Students from YouthBuild Northwest in Petoskey are also working on a Habitat for Humanity project. They're helping Northwest Michigan Habitat for Humanity build a new home in East Jordan.

The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
