Women Build Habitat Home Dedicated to Marietta Police Department Public Servant
Habitat for Humanity of NW Metro Atlanta celebrated the final milestone of its final build of the year as nearly 100 supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and community leaders gathered Thursday to dedicate the completed 2025 Women Build home for future homeowner Makailah and her family in Marietta.
What began with pink hard hats and pink shovels at the October Land Dedication has now come full circle. Over nine weeks, 237 volunteers worked 4,141 hours side-by-side with Makailah and her mom, Lisa, to complete this home. More than 75 percent of the volunteers who built this home were women.
Makailah, a Police Service Representative with the City of Marietta Police Department, was joined at the dedication by her mother, Lisa, and her son, a third grader; and sister Matilda. In 2023, she applied for this home through City of Marietta and Habitat’s Public Service Housing Program and was selected in 2024.
