Philip Golden shares WilCo Habitat for Humanity’s plans
to build homes, community and hope—and we do that in two major ways. One of them is in the home repair business for low-income people throughout the county. And then we also build and sell new homes to individuals also in our county. How does Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County decide where to build? No surprise—we build homes where we own land. We are fortunate to own several undevel- oped properties in the city of Georgetown. It is the only place in the county that we currently have land available to build on. What current construction do you have going on? We’re currently working on the rst two new homes in Shepherd’s Village. Our volunteer construction crew is working on two side-by-side townhome-style condominiums, which will be
occupied by two single mothers [with] kids. What future projects do you have planned? We are still going through some committing processes with the city and with the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality for our Leander Street Cottages, which we hope to resolve later this summer, which will allow us to start new
Philip Golden is the executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County. The nonpro t organization works to create and sustain homeown- ership through volunteer build teams. In an interview with Community Impact , Golden discussed the organization’s mission, current projects and future plans. What is Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County’s mission? [The] primary mission is to bring people together
home construction there, too. How can people get involved?
We do need volunteers to help us with our new home construction. Our volunteer crew continues to get older, and an in ux of maybe a younger construction workforce will be helpful.
