Hillcrest Transitional Housing and the St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity are partnering up for apartment renovations.

According to a news release from Habitat for Humanity an announcement will be made Thursday morning to talk about the two nonprofit organizations mission of helping families in need.

The release said work will begin on renovating a Hillcrest apartment to create a universal design livable space.

“Both programs offer a hand-up, not a hand out in that there are program requirements such as sweat equity, life skill classes and financial planning,” the release stated.
