Rosenthal & Levy “Builds a Dream” in Martin County

Partners with Habitat for Humanity Third Time in Less Than Two Years

Port St. Lucie, Florida August 19, 2005—the Law Offices of Rosenthal & Levy, P.A. recently participated in a Habitat for Humanity (“Habitat”) of Martin County “Saturday build.” In just under two hours, volunteers from the law firm painted the entire exterior of the house which is in the final stages of construction. The house is one of two Habitat Homes located on Clayton Street in Stuart, Florida. During the build, the crew from Rosenthal & Levy took the opportunity to meet the recipients of both houses.

Commenting on the project, firm administrator Lori DeMayo stated, “This was a great team effort. The real highlight of the day was meeting the people who get the houses. Needless to say, that drives home why we do this.” This “build” marks Rosenthal & Levy’s third Habitat project in less than two years. The firm also provided manpower for construction of homes in Indiantown’s Booker Park and Greenacres in Palm Beach County.

The mission of Habitat for Humanity is the elimination of poverty housing. Habitat affiliates are volunteer organizations assisted by staff personnel. The criteria for family selection is need, willingness to complete 500 hours of sweat-equity with Habitat, and ability to make monthly mortgage payments. After completion of the sweat-equity requirement and construction of their home, the family is provided a 25-year, no interest, no profit loan payable to Habitat. Their mortgage payments are then applied to the building fund for construction of additional homes for other needy families.

Since 1985, members of Rosenthal & Levy have served over 11,000 clients in Florida. The Firm maintains offices in Port St. Lucie and West Palm Beach. For more information on Rosenthal & Levy, P.A., contact Gregory T. DuBose at 561-296-3954.
