A family of seven from Schenectady has a new home, thanks to the College and the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Michael and Kelly Harris, and their five children – Sujea, 12, Sabrina, 9, Michael, Jr., 8, Isaiah, 8, and Samone, 3 – were surrounded by dozens of well-wishers recently when the house at 1124 Barrett Street was officially dedicated.
The College donated the house to the local Habitat chapter and the campus community has worked since last fall to help refurbish it.
The project received extensive media coverage. To read an account of the dedication in the Daily Gazette, click here (registration may be required).
