PORT ANGELES — The Peninsula Housing Authority will dedicate nine new homes at Pendley Court at 6 p.m. today.
This is the ninth group of homes built by families under the Mutual Self-Help Program and the final group at Pendley Court, which is off West 14th Street between O and N streets in west Port Angeles.
Instead of making down payments, the families worked 32 hours or more a week on their own homes and neighbors’ homes until all were completed.
This is in addition to their regular jobs and caring for their families every week for about 10 months.
Together, they put in about 12,000 hours building their new homes.
The public is invited to come celebrate with them.
Peninsula Housing Authority has sponsored a total of 78 new homes and three renovated homes through the Mutual Self-Help program.
Five homes are under construction in Port Townsend.
The Peninsula Housing Authority provides pre-purchase counseling and education, credit repair and access to down payment assistance.
The Mutual Self Help Program is seeking people interested in becoming homeowners.
