“St. Theresa Place, a 14-home, single-family subdivision, will not only provide the opportunity for 14 families to build wealth through homeownership but will also keep alive the family spirit of St. Theresa Parish, which for over 70 years was a vibrant center of faithful worship and quality education in the Diamond-Stringtown Neighborhood.”

“I was a pastor of St. Theresa Parish for 14 years, and I’ve accepted the responsibility of asking friends to help keep the spirit of St. Theresa alive by making a gift to Habitat for Humanity of Evansville. It takes $80,000 to sponsor each one of these houses … so that’s 14 houses times $80,000 which equals $1,120,000. Our goal is to raise that by the end of 2023.”

“This is such good news for our city. Because even though times change, one thing doesn’t … and that’s that people are still the most important thing. People make neighborhoods great. It just makes me smile to think of the children who are going to grow up in St. Theresa Place, who will be going to the Stringtown Library, walking to an Otter’s game, having a cookout in Garvin Park and swimming at the Deaconess Aquatic Center.”

“Over 1,200 additional units of affordable housing are needed in our community. And that is a conservative estimate. St. Theresa Place will help us meet that need, and the project fits well with Habitat’s strategic plan to build 100 homes in the next 5 years and focus on the high impact which results from concentrated building.”
