DAVENPORT, IOWA (May 13, 2026) — The public is invited to help celebrate the Dedication of Habitat Home N° 147 this Saturday, May 16. The brief ceremony will take place promptly at 10AM, at 1360 Morton Drive, East Moline, Illinois.

Guests will have the opportunity to tour the home after the ceremony.

This home was generously funded through sponsorship from the John Deere Foundation. John Deere staff also contributed 195 hours of volunteer labor in addition to funding. Habitat QC is incredibly grateful for their commitment to the Quad Cities and to building affordable homes.

Habitat’s affordable homeownership program is a long-term solution to the current affordable housing crisis. Habitat partner families must complete a minimum of 250 volunteer hours of sweat-equity and attend mandatory home-ownership preparation classes with the support of a volunteer mentor. When their home is finished, partner families purchase the home from Habitat with affordable monthly payments on a zero-interest mortgage.
