A new single family home at 24 Burnet Street was dedicated on Wednesday, March 30. It was constructed through Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark with the help of volunteers, donors, and Livingston officials.
“It’s been a long time coming for this moment,” said Jeffrey Farrell, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark, “when a house becomes a home.”
Construction on 24 Burnet Street began several years ago, prior to the start of the COVID pandemic. It is now home to the Winston family, mother, Keisha, and her three children, Alexander, 10, Aaron, 5, and Arianna 3. The family officially moved into the house in February. Prior to that, they shared a small twobedroom apartment in Elizabeth.
“We welcome the Winston family to Livingston,” Mayor Ed Meinhardt said. “It’s great to have you and hope you will be an active part of town.”
