Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County held its groundbreaking for the Hutchinson Lane CDBG Project on May 24. This exciting first phase of our affordable housing project was awarded by Berkeley County through the Community Development Block Grant program, funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This project will rebuild Hutchinson Lane in the Wall Street Community of Moncks Corner, adding the infrastructure needed for Berkeley Habitat to build 5-7 homes for families in need of safe, affordable housing. Construction on our first home will begin in July 2022.
Along with HUD, Berkeley County, and the Town of Moncks Corner, we are thankful for those that have partnered with us to support this project and Habitat. This includes Pinnacle Financial Services, Publix Super Markets Charities, Coastal Community Foundation, Weyerhaeuser, GJS Architecture, and Live Oak Consultants.

We are so thankful for the Members of Berkeley Electric Cooperative who participate in the Operation Round Up Program. By rounding up your monthly electric bill to the next dollar, your generosity funds home repairs and community services within the the BEC territory. These funds are administered by the Berkeley Electric Trust Board, whom awarded $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County for our current home build in Moncks Corner!

BEC also partnered with Berkeley Habitat and future homeowner Tia Harrison on April 19th to plant an energy saving tree as part of their Arbor Day Program! We appreciate BEC for their continued support!
