Central Islip Groundbreaking: An Accessible Home for Three Generations

On October 28th, we broke ground on our latest affordable home in Central Islip. The future homeowner, Virginia, will share the home with her daughter and her granddaughter. The house is designed to be fully accessible, so the family will have a safe, stable place that meets her granddaughter’s needs and brings everyone more peace of mind.

Thank you to our sponsor, Riverhead Building Supply, for helping make this home possible. Thank you also to H2M architects + engineers for joining us to mark the start of construction.

We were glad to welcome leaders from the Town of Islip: Supervisor Angie Carpenter, Community Development Agency (CDA) Chairperson Debra Cavanagh, CDA Executive Director Julia MacGibbon, and CDA Affordable Housing and Project Development Director Kevin Crean. Partners like these help more Long Island families build stability through affordable homeownership, right here in the communities where they live and work.

Construction is just getting started, and there’s room for you on the build site. If you or your company would like to get involved, visit our volunteer page to learn more.
