Habitat for Humanity

An Innovative Approach to Building Community in North Belmont

FUMCB has partnered with Habitat for Humanity, in addition to other businesses and houses of worship  to help with the project in north Belmont. Dixon Village is a neighborhood that provides homes for Habitat families and entry-level market-rate buyers in a community that is an innovative approach to providing affordable housing.  Dixon Village is designed to encourage interaction in a diverse, closely-knit community, creating what research shows are economic, social, and educational benefits for our entire region. 

Located in North Belmont, Dixon Village is a 7.5-acre development contains 28 single-family homes. About a third of these homes are for Habitat homeowners, making it one of the few developments in the nation that is setting a new precedent for mixed-income living.

The remaining homes in this neighborhood are for market-rate homebuyers, providing an increasingly rare opportunity for aspiring homebuyers to purchase a home at an entry-level price range where there currently is low inventory in our area.
