ALBANY, NY-- Volunteers from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) have joined forces with Habitat for Humanity in Schenectady County, Inc. this summer to create energy-efficient housing for residents in need of safe, secure living conditions.
Habitat for Humanity of Schenectady County, Inc. is a locally-run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, housing organization, working in partnership with people in need of affordable housing. The houses are sold to those in need, at no profit, and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, while individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of labor into the building of their homes and the homes of others.
The homes are in compliance with ENERGY STAR guidelines.
In addition to projects such as the Verona Street homes, NYSERDA’s Community Services Committee (CSC), open to all full-time and part-time staff of NYSERDA, provides volunteer support and contributions to groups, families and individuals in need, including the donation of time, food, clothing, personal hygiene products, and household necessities.
