Congratulations to the Jay Family on the completion of their new home Dedicated on August 29, 2012!

The Progress Log at the bottom of this page includes links to over seven hundred photos of volunteers working and each stage of the build. Here are Dave's favorite sixty-six of them. Enjoy!

We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to build a house with the Jay Family! Babacar Jay and Aissatou Faye moved to the United States from Senegal in 1992, lived in New York City for sixteen years, and settled in Columbus four years ago to raise their five children. Please see the Jay Family Stories page to read more about this lovely family!

We are most grateful to The Columbus Foundation, our Presenting Sponsor who made this project possible with their generous donation in partnership with The City of Columbus Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP).

This project was situated at 1294 North Fifth Street. One Google map pinpoints the location, and another Google map shows the surrounding Weinland Park neighborhood. The dilapidated duplex seen in the Before photo to the left (click on it to see more detail) was recorded before the Columbus NSP program cleared the lot and provided it to Habitat.

Weinland Park is a diverse urban neighborhood of 4,800 people represented by the Weinland Park Community Civic Association. For a fascinating profile of Columbus' dynamic growth, check out the TEDx talk Surprise, It's Columbus 2.0! by Weinland Park resident Michael Wilkos. You can also peruse a wide array of interesting data about Weinland Park at city-data.com.
