7/13/14 - Livingston County Habitat for Humanity is welcoming a new resource development coordinator who says sheâs excited to start the new challenge. Karla Macelli says sheâs fortunate to be joining such a respected organization that has been serving Livingston County since 1993. The non-denominational Christian-based housing ministry is dedicated to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action in the county. The non-profit agency says it is able to serve local residents thanks to community membersâ gifts of time and talent. Macelli says Livingston County residents can support their efforts by shopping at its retail outlet of community donated items, volunteering at a site build or at the ReStore located on Grand River Road in Brighton. Macelli says there are 10,869 people living below the poverty level within Livingston County and 2,000 of them are potentially able to qualify for a Habitat home. At their current build rate, it would take over 1,000 years to meet that need but Macelli says the goal is to meet the needs happening right now in the community. (JM/JK)
