Mallernee heard about the opening and applied for the house in March. Because the house was near completion, she will have to contribute her own "sweat equity" by doing landscaping work on the property and helping construct the next CVHFH home already under construction in Rouses Point.
"I'm very grateful to Habitat for the opportunity to have a house," she said.
