Habitat for Humanity, Foundation Recovery team up for STL housing

ST. LOUIS — Fenton-based Foundation Recovery Systems is joining forces with Habitat for Humanity today to help construct homes for a family in need in Old North St. Louis. Crews will focus on two homes currently under construction on the 1300 block of Monroe Street, not far from I-70.

Video from a similar Habitat project in University City last month shows crews working on an exterior wall. According to Habitat for Humanity, these two homes are part of 30 houses under construction across the area. Foundation Recovery Systems staff will assist Habitat workers today with general tasks to move the homes closer to completion.

Both houses are expected to be finished by early next year, and buyers are already lined up. Another Habitat home is also under construction nearby.
