From Laurel House to Her Own House: Montco Habitat for Humanity Helps Pottstown Woman Move Forward

In the drizzling Saturday afternoon rain, Laurel House's deputy director Bill Baldwin was among dozens smiling as Marlene Williams opened the door to her new Habitat for Humanity home in Pottstown.

Marlene is one of many women who received shelter, legal representation, and other supportive services from Laurel House.

As Marlene and her daughter begin their new life, she's an inspiring example of the possibility of starting anew and how many agencies in Montgomery County partnered together to make a difference.

The Pottstown Mercury tells Marlene's story in this wonderful article which you can read here.
