About Project T Benton Harbor
Vision
"Project T" is the vision of Harbor Habitat Executive Director, Erin Hudson. The concept for the project is a self-sustaining community with various housing options designed to support the elevation of families out of poverty and toward financial independence.
Project
The three-phase project includes 14 duplexes, (homes 28 for sale), a mixed-use building with ground floor childcare, and 5 duplexes (10 homes for sale) constructed through the traditional Harbor Habitat for Humanity program.
Community
Project T is located within one mile of downtown Benton Harbor near a major commercial corridor. The site is surrounded by a dense single-family neighborhood that is comprised of residents that are actively engaged and eager to see the new development come to fruition.
