New Covenant Fellowship has sold six acres of property on North Moore Road to Habitat for Humanity to build a subdivision called "The Covenant." New Covenant Fellowship previously owned 23 acres. One home has already been built and completed by Habitat on Eucalyptus.
Habitat For Humanity Executive Director Pete Palmer said, “We are deeply grateful to our local foundations, businesses, churches, schools and individuals for partnering with us in our efforts to transform lives, one home at a time.”
Dr. Miller, pastor of New Covenant Fellowship, said, “Our church first wanted to build affordable housing next to us because it's a stable and safe neighborhood suitable for families. However, it never developed; then Habitat called. It was a perfect fit. They do a great job, and we’re proud to be one of their partners.”
The church bought the property in 2001 from developers Julian Bell and Madison Truett.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization dedicated to transforming our community through the construction of simple, decent and affordable homes through partnerships with volunteers and low-income families.
