Habitat for Humanity is working hard to find a spot to put material they found under the top soil of their Woodstock build location.
WOODSTOCK - Habitat for Humanity is hopeful they can get back to work on the Woodstock builds starting in March.
President & Chief Executive Officer for Habitat For Humanity Heartland Ontario, Jeff Duncan says they had run into some issues with the build site back in the fall.
Duncan says there isn't anything they can do until Spring.
"We need to find a place to take the material. That's the step that we are trying to get over. As soon as we have that, we can tighten up when exactly we can get started. The material that we have to take out, we have got to put some place and you can't just put it wherever you feel like, you have to put it some place proper. We are trying to figure that out. We are trying to work with the City and County right now to do that and if we can solve that, the next step would be then to schedule it all."
A townhouse fire earlier this week on Springbank Avenue in the City has left one of the families waiting on a Habitat home displaced at the moment.
"One thing that Habitat can do is -- we are going to try and help if there is loss of furniture, anything like that -- anything that we can do through our ReStore. It's the only thing we can do now. We will just be part of the solution that the churches, the Red Cross and the rest of the community have tried to rally around the families that were effected this week and see what we can do. I think that's the big thing now that we take care of that and get the families settled again so they get some comfort and build them a house."
Duncan says a typical build takes 4-5 months to complete.
