Third Habitat house slated to be built in Hensall
Habitat for Humanity Huron
County and the Kinsmen Club of
Hensall and District announced
that a new Habitat for Humanity
house will be built in Hensall.
The Kinsmen Club has taken the
lead in the acquisition of a lot in
Hensall that has been deeded to the
local Habitat affiliate for the pur-
pose of building a house.
John Schenk, chair of Habitat's
Site Selection Committee, along
with Steve Knight and Darrin
Durand of the Hensall Kinsmen,
negotiated the deal that will eventu-
ally lead to the construction of the
third Habitat house in Huron
County,
The first house in Clinton is now
completed and occupied. The second
build is slated for Wingham, and
now the third build can be officially
targeted for Hensall.
Schenk commented, I"I think that
the way the lot was procured in
Hensall represents the model that
we will find most successful in the
future for the acquisition of lots that
we need at a cost we can afford."
Paul Dyck, chair of Habitat for
Humanity Huron County, echoed
the comments and added, "I want to
thank both John Schenk, Steve
Knight, and the rest of the Kinsmen
Club of Hensall and District for not
only acting on their ideals of service
to the community, but also for hav-
ing the foresight to partner with us
in order to make a real difference in
the life of a deserving family."
The date for construction has not
yet been set, but Dyck comments,
"Our next house will be in Wingham
and if fund raising and donations of
material is on track, we hope to
build in the spring of 2006 in
Wingham."
"Hensall will be next. Again, we
have fundraising targets to achieve
before we can start building, but
Hensall will be our next site after
Wingham."
The family selection process will
determine who will be eligible to
purchase the house.
Habitat for Humanity Huron
County sells homes to partner fami-
lies at no profit and finances no -
interest mortgages.
The homes are built with partner
families, using donations in the
form of capital, property, labour and
donations of new building supplies
from individuals, companies, faith
groups and service clubs.
The goal is to build simple, decent
homes thrpugh the co-operation of
partner families, volunteers, and
trades professionals.
Families are chosen
based on their need for
housing and their abili-
ty to pay for and main-
tain the home.
Further, a willing-
ness to partner with
and support the objec-
tives of Habitat for
Humanity Huron
County is necessary.
Dyck also noted that
any donations should
be sent to the organiza-
tion's Hensall address.
Any donations sent
to Habitat for
Humanity Canada in
Waterloo must be
specifically earmarked
for Huron County.
At the December
board meeting of
Habitat for Humanity
Huron County, the
board of directors
acknowledged the gen-
erous support of the
Kinsmen Club of
Hensall and District.
It was noted that 18
months ago, it was the
Hensall Kinsmen who
made the first major
donation to the local
Habitat organization
and provided financial
support when the group
was first getting orga-
nized in Huron County.
Habitat for
Humanity Huron
County is entirely oper-
ated by volunteers.
Habitat provides a
"hand up, not a hand
out" by selling homes to
qualified families
through "sweat equity"
and non-interest mort-
gages.

JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
0 STOREY
A spacious family home with the look and feel of a cottage, this
two-storey, three-bedroom affair was designed with comfort and
convenience in mind. Entry is by way of a covered porch, where
there's enough room for a couple of chairs for warm evenings.
To the left of the double -height foyer is a den with a closet,
which could double as a guest room. A powder room is adjacent
to the hall closet. Directly ahead is the great room, with a built-
in fireplace and french doors that open onto a patio. A breakfast
nook with a bayed -out area that overlooks the back garden
makes an ideal spot for casual meals. A U-shaped flight of stairs
leads to the second floor.
