Delegate Price Presents Commending Resolution to Habitat for Humanity on World Habitat Day
On World Habitat Day (Oct. 6, 2025), Delegate Marcia “Cia” Price presented a Virginia General Assembly Commending Resolution to Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, honoring the organization’s 40 years of building affordable homes and stronger communities across the region.
The presentation took place at the Newport News ReStore, where community leaders, staff, volunteers and supporters gathered to celebrate the milestone.
Adopted unanimously by the Virginia Senate earlier this year, Senate Resolution No. 326 commends Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg “for 40 years of promoting access to affordable housing and building stronger communities throughout the Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg.”
The resolution highlights the organization’s impact since its founding in 1985, noting that it has “constructed and renovated hundreds of homes in partnership with families who contribute sweat equity and purchase their homes through affordable mortgages.”
It further recognizes Habitat’s “commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering families to achieve stability and self-sufficiency through homeownership.”
Delegate Price, who represents the 95th House District, led the presentation of the resolution, emphasizing Habitat’s long-standing role in addressing housing needs and improving quality of life across the region.
Shauntrice Williams, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, accepted the resolution on behalf of the organization, reflecting on the affiliate’s 40-year impact and ongoing mission to make safe, affordable housing accessible to more local families.
World Habitat Day, established by the United Nations, serves as an annual reminder that adequate shelter is a basic human right and calls on everyone to contribute to the goal of safe, affordable housing for all.
