US Mortgage and Habitat for Humanity Announce Award

US Mortgage Corp. and Habitat for Humanity-Newark have announced the creation of a Hero Award to recognize individuals who help provide affordable housing to families in need.

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) July 7, 2006 -- Habitat for Humanity-Newark (HFHN) and Morris County based US Mortgage Corp. announced today that they are jointly sponsoring a Community Hero Program to recognize and honor men and women who have dedicated their lives to helping others realize the American dream of affordable home ownership.

The program will commence September 1, 2006 and will be coordinated by the HHFN Board of Directors.

HFHN will accept nominations from the Newark community that demonstrate commitment and dedication to HFHN’s mission of providing affordable home ownership to qualified families in the area.

Each month an individual will be chosen as the ‘Habitat for Humanity-US Mortgage Hero of the Month,” and will receive special recognition including an award and a certificate, and US Mortgage Corp. will donate $1,000 to HFHN in the Hero’s name. The money will then be used by HFHN to further its work in the community.

US Mortgage President Michael McGrath stated, “We are proud and honored to have joined with such a fine organization as Habitat for Humanity and support the important work they are doing in our local communities. Newark Habitat has played a significant role in the revitalization of the City, and we are happy to play a small part in ensuring their continued efforts.”

Hendricks Davis, Executive Director of HFHN said: “Our partnership with US Mortgage Corp. is a part of our mission to reach into the corporate community and find service minded companies willing to give something back. We are thrilled that US Mortgage Corp. has committed to this Award program, and welcome their efforts to fund our continued operations, while at the same time recognizing the volunteers we rely on to fulfill our client’s dreams of homeownership.”
