Two years of hard work and preparation will pay off this weekend for a Quad Cities family. During a ceremony on Saturday dedicating its latest completed home, Habitat for Humanity will give the keys to Afi Amedanu and her two young children.
It's located in Davenport, in the 64-hundred block of Appomattox Road.
Amedanu was required to attend classes on home ownership and financial responsibility, and has put in more than 400 hours of "sweat equity" - working on her home, at the Habitat Restore, and on other Habitat projects.
She will buy the home with a zero-interest mortgage, paid to Habitat.
This is the 87th home completed by the Quad Cities chapter, and it was sponsored by the Scott County Housing Council, Scott County Regional Authority, Quad City Bank and Trust, and the city of Davenport.
Three other Habitat homes are currently under construction, and work on five more is scheduled to begin this year.
