Habitat for Humanity Sarasota has announced 11 homes in Hammock Place are fully funded and the organization has broken ground on the first four homes.

In April 2018, as a response to the growing need for affordable housing in the community, Habitat Sarasota launched Lives Transformed: The Campaign for Hammock Place with a goal to raise $7 million to build a neighborhood that will serve 40 families with permanent, affordable housing.

Now, the nonprofit has reported that the land, the site development and infrastructure for Hammock Place is fully funded through a partnership with The Kolter Group and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. The first eight homes are funded by the following donors and partners: FCCI Insurance Group, Stock Signature Homes, Jerry & Fay Bainbridge, the late Trudy Blumenthal, a valued volunteer, the late Joseph & Marion Schasney and an anonymous donor.

The additional three homes are funded by: Publix Super Markets Charities; Wells Fargo Foundation; Roberta Leventhal Sudakoff Foundation; Stearns Bank; Williams Parker; Bank of America; Isermann Family Foundation; Michael J. Belle and Achieva Credit Union.
