4 Dutton Street

Construction is well underway!
Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity broke ground on the Dutton Street property in the fall of 2005. We plan to complete the project in the next few months.

The property is located at 4 Dutton Street (on the corner with Amherst Street). The completed home will be a duplex and will house two families (one on the first floor and one on the second floor). Both units are roughly 1,000 sq. feet of living space efficently designed with three bedrooms each.

The two families that have been selected are looking forward to their future home.

Lastest Update on the Home's Progress: Volunteers have been working on the project throughout the months of March and April. The framing and siding of the house was completed in early spring. Volunteers over the past several weekends have worked to successfully complete the drywalling throughout the house. Currently, the taping and mudding is underway. In May, we expect to start the interior painting and trim work. Work days are typically Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. Full and half day volunteers are welcome. Lunch sponsors are also needed for work days.

If you are interested in volunteering in the coming weekends, please email us at . We could especially use individuals experienced in contruction to act as project leads but we appreciate anyone interested in helping.

If you are interested in making a donation to this project, as a personal or corporate sponsor, please contact us.

We are excited about building hope for two worthly families!!

Please check back as we will be posting photos
of the project soon!

Help Fill ‘em Up!

The units will each be heated with an oil fired furnace, and the tanks for each furnace need to be filled before the new homeowners move in. With home heating oil now approaching $4 per gallon, it will cost around $1100 to fill each tank. Donations to help reduce this cost will be greatly appreciated. They can be mailed to Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity, 250 Commercial Street, Suite 4019, Manchester, NH 03101. If total donations exceed the cost of the oil, they will be used toward other costs of the house.
