382, 390, 394 and 396 Market Street, South Lawrence, MA
January 21, 2008: A fast-moving fire engulfed a block of Market Street in Lawrence and destroyed our Market Common project. Three homes that had been renovated and were nearly ready for occupancy are gone. Two Lawrence families, who had put hundreds of hours of work into the houses, had expected to be moving into their new homes within weeks.
The staff and board of Merrimack Valley Habitat as well as our loyal volunteers are committed to rebuilding the Market Street site as soon as possible.

8-10 Gale Street, Lawrence, MA
A new duplex in the Lower Tower Hill neighborhood of Lawrence.
Construction
at Gale Street began in May of 2006. Merrimack Valley Habitat for
Humanity
committed to accelerating completion of this project so one of the
families
who lost their home in the Market Common fire would have a temporary
place
to call home. We are thrilled that the Mbiye family moved in during the
month of April.
