Welcome Home, Furtick Family!

Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County • June 30, 2023

This journey has been a long time coming for Genise Furtick and her children. After being initially denied in the Homeowner Selection Process due to not meeting income requirements, Genise found another job, reapplied, and was later selected to be given her own home.

When the whole world shut down due to a pandemic, her house-building process was put on hold. When we were finally able to restart the process, it had already been two years since her process began. With the assistance of The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association , Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County was able to build the first Habitat insulated concrete forms(ICF) house in South Carolina. Through this energy-efficient infrastructure and gift of solar panels, Genise can confidently move into her new home without the worry of a high energy bill. Here we are, almost three years later, welcoming the Furtick Family to their new home on Hutchinson Lane!
