Supervisor Panico Celebrates Habitat for Humanity “Wall Raising” for New Home in Bellport


Habitat for Humanity “Wall Raising” for New Home in Bellport | Town of Brookhaven

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico and Alison Karppi, Commissioner of Housing and Community Development, joined Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk to celebrate a “Wall Raising” on Davidson Avenue in Bellport, marking the start of construction on a new home for the Rahman family.

A "Wall Raising" is a symbolic event where the walls of a Habitat for Humanity home are lifted into place, signifying the beginning of the construction phase.

Also in attendance were Habitat for Humanity Executive Director and CEO Diane Manders and Habitat for Humanity Chairman Kevin O’Connor.

 The property and an adjacent buildable lot were donated to Habitat for Humanity by the Town of Brookhaven during former Supervisor Ed Romaine’s tenure. He currently serves as the Suffolk County Executive.

Supervisor Panico said, “I was honored to take part in this special day with Habitat for Humanity and the Rahman family. Long Island is facing a serious housing shortage, and projects like this help hardworking families achieve the dream of homeownership. Thanks to the dedicated volunteers, the Rahman’s will soon have a beautiful place to call home.”

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization founded in 1976, dedicated to building simple, decent, and affordable housing. 

The Suffolk County chapter works with thousands of volunteers to construct and renovate homes, providing opportunities for families to achieve homeownership and build stronger communities.

Rain or Shine Its Opening Day!

Opening Day always has a special feel to it but if you are a little leaguer, it somehow feels that much more special. The rain this weekend did not deter the little ball players from taking the field and getting dirty, or in this case muddy.
