“There is such a need for affordable housing and we are so thrilled to be working with the Town of Easton again on this project,” said Martine Taylor, Executive Director at South Shore Habitat for Humanity. The Town has made affordable housing a priority and we are thrilled to be one of their partners. We look forward to building home #4! “We encourage individuals and local businesses to get involved with the project as volunteers, financial contributors and ambassadors; helping us to spread the word. We are happy to welcome former and new volunteers to this project.”20 Mathewson Drive in Weymouth, MA but they serves 35 cities and towns south and southwest of Boston.
