We're hearing from Habitat for Humanity Prince William County, which is scaling back some of its operations in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus.
Director Traci DeGroat pens in an email:
Habitat for Humanity Prince William County's mission is to rally people together to ensure that everyone in Prince William, Manassas, and Manassas Park has a decent, affordable place to call home. We are community-driven. We rely on and are grateful for our volunteer labor, donors to the ReStore, donors to our programs, our family partners, our customers and our employees.The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging us to make difficult decisions, to weigh the risks to ourselves and others, to keep in mind that we have served the community for 25 years and wish to continue for another 25 and more. With all of that in mind, we are choosing to currently remain open, but with limitations.Construction ProgramsWe are two weeks shy of completing the rehab work at the Old Hickory worksite (a townhome in Manassas that is being rennovated by Habitat for Humanity Prince William County for west African immigrant). Our goal is to complete it. Volunteer opportunities have been significantly reduced and we have instituted the following precautions:
- Hand sanitizers and/or disinfectant will be available at the build site.
- Disinfectant wipes are available for wiping down tools and personal protective equipment.
- Disposable gloves will be available.
- Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own hand tools if they have them.
Home Ownership Orientation and Other GatheringsAll homeownership orientations have been canceled for March. All other gatherings and meetings have been canceled through April 16. We will monitor the situation and reschedule in the future.Prospective Family PartnersWe are not accepting applications for Home Repairs and for Home Ownership at present. Both application processes require face-to-face meetings, on-site evaluations and the handling of paperwork. We will reopen the application period when the pandemic has resolved itself.ReStores
