Local organizations break ground for new home in San Luis, Arizona

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - Amidst an atmosphere of solidarity and hope, Housing America Corporation (HAC), in collaboration with USDA Rural Development, celebrated the groundbreaking of a new home for Ms. Lidia Magaña.

It was a project intended to honor the dream of her daughter, who passed away nearly three years ago.

According to HAC representatives, the home symbolizes not only a new beginning for the Magaña family, but also the fulfillment of a cherished wish that Ms. Magaña’s daughter longed to see realized: providing a safe and stable home for her loved ones.

The groundbreaking ceremony took place Thursday, May 21, on San Diego Street in San Luis, Arizona, with the participation of community members, public officials, contractors, and volunteers who came together to support the project.

One of the most notable aspects of this initiative was the involvement of 19 local contractors, businesses, and collaborators, who donated materials, supplies, and labor valued at over $30,000.

Family members and attendees highlighted that the project has become a shining example of community support and empathy, demonstrating how the collaboration between organizations and citizens can transform difficult times into opportunities for hope.

HAC representatives reiterated their commitment to continue working on building quality housing for families facing difficult circumstances, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
