ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Construction is underway on a new Habitat for Humanity home that a Central Florida family is expected to move into just in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County and Williams Company broke ground Tuesday morning on the Orange County home as part of the seventh annual Home for the Holidays event.<\/p>\n

Over the next several weeks, Williams Company, along with its subcontractors and vendors, will donate time, labor and materials to build the house.<\/p>\n

A local family will purchase the completed home through an affordable mortgage, with a home dedication ceremony planned for Dec. 11.<\/p>\n

\u201cHome is where health is nurtured, education is strengthened, opportunities are unlocked, and, especially during the holiday season, a place where lifetime memories are made,\u201d Habitat Orlando & Osceola President and CEO Catherine Steck McManus said.<\/p>\n

Organizers said this marks Williams Company\u2019s seventh consecutive year participating in Home for the Holidays and its eighth home built alongside the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe holidays are about bringing people together, and there is no better way to celebrate the season than by coming together as a team to build a deserving family a place to call home,\u201d Williams Company Vice President of Operations Matt Olberding said.<\/p>\n

Habitat Orlando & Osceola also offers programs for people working toward homeownership, financial preparedness or home repairs.<\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s Housing Path Finder<\/a> tool is designed to connect residents with services based on their individual housing goals.<\/p>\n
