home build in Muhlenberg County made possible through a collaborative partnership with the

Felix E. Martin Jr. Foundation, Muhlenberg Economic Growth Alliance (MEGA), and the

Muhlenberg Housing Coalition.

Construction on the home will begin on April 13, 2026, marking the start of a community-driven

project focused on creating safe, affordable housing for a local family.

foundation for construction. Alyssa Manning, President of the Felix E. Martin Jr. Foundation:

  “The Foundation is thrilled to play a part in welcoming Habitat for Humanity to Muhlenberg

County.  Bringing a partner with a proven model for home ownership to the County is an

exciting step forward in efforts to develop much-needed local housing opportunities. “

Pennyrile Habitat is seeking additional funders, donors, and community partners to help fully

finance the home and ensure long-term affordability for the homebuyer.
