Each month, volunteers and other guests will have the opportunity for a behind-the-scenes look into the varied ways Habitat for Humanity is working to address the need for affordable housing in Philadelphia. In April, we will be learning about this vital step in the homebuilding process from Habitat’s very own Director of Project Planning, Ed McColly. We will dive more deeply into what predevelopment looks like for a typical project, from acquiring land to leveraging funds to project design and finally to construction.
