Flagler Habitat for Humanity is set to dedicate its 146th home on Friday, Aug. 21, 2026, at 9 a.m. The ceremony will take place at 150 Bird of Paradise Drive in Palm Coast. Everyone is welcome, and residents are encouraged to come out, meet the new homeowners, and help acknowledge the milestone.
Flagler Habitat said a home dedication marks the close of a months-long, often years-long, partnership between the future homeowner, the organization, and the community that helped make the build possible. To qualify, partner families complete program requirements, attend homeownership classes, contribute “sweat equity” by working on the house themselves, and commit to caring for the home over the long haul. The nonprofit noted that the effort depends on volunteers, donations, public funding, support from local businesses, proceeds from its ReStore, and ongoing partnerships throughout the area.
This particular home, the organization said, was made possible with help from across Flagler County. Flagler Habitat expressed thanks to Pioneer Appliance for support through the Community Contribution Tax Credit Program, to Flagler County for its longstanding involvement through the SHIP program, and to the City of Palm Coast for CDBG assistance and planned land donations. The group also credited its ReStore team, volunteers, construction crews, donors, board members, and staff, saying the project was finished through their shared work.
“Isaiah 65:21 gives us a beautiful picture of people building homes, then living in them. Today we celebrate the Coleman Family’s work toward homeownership, supported by a community that stood beside them. Every volunteer hour, contribution, and partnership helped create a foundation for stability, belonging, and a strong future here in Flagler County,” said Devrie Paradowski, executive director of Flagler Habitat for Humanity.
Guests will have a chance to celebrate with the family and to recognize the many hands that helped move the project from plans on paper to a completed home. Media outlets are invited to attend, and Flagler Habitat asked reporters to reach out to Paradowski in advance for details or to schedule interviews.
Flagler Habitat for Humanity has served the area since 1992 and says it is the only nonprofit in the county dedicated specifically to affordable homeownership. The organization reports building more than 136 homes, repairing about 100 others, and supporting efforts such as community gardens, neighborhood improvements, and other local initiatives. It describes itself as a Christian organization that works alongside and serves people of all faiths and backgrounds, bringing together homeowners, volunteers, donors, businesses, faith and community groups, and local government around the belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live.
