HII Dedicates 20th and 21st Habitat for Humanity Homes
12 Dezembro 2023 - 5:30PM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that the company’s Newport News
Shipbuilding (NNS) division joined elected officials and community
leaders Tuesday to dedicate the 20th and 21st houses shipyard
volunteers have constructed in partnership with Habitat for
Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg since 2002.
The ribbon cutting welcomed the families to their new homes,
which were partly built by Habitat for Humanity using 3D printing
technology. NNS is an industry leader in additive manufacturing,
using 3D printing technology in the shipyard to support both
aircraft carrier and submarine production.
NNS President Jennifer Boykin and NNS Vice President of
Engineering and Design Dave Bolcar presented the house keys to the
families. They were also gifted custom doorknockers and house
address signs created by NNS using 3D printing, in a nod to the
historic construction of the homes.

“Like the ships we build for the Navy, these houses were
constructed with pride and an appreciation for those who will call
them home,” Boykin said. “There’s something special about giving
back to our neighbors here in our company’s hometown. We are
committed to the city of Newport News and the revitalization of the
Southeast community. I know these two wonderful families will be
positive anchors for the future of this neighborhood.”
She also recognized one of the first NNS Habitat for Humanity
volunteers, Matt McQuade, an outside machinist at the shipyard for
32 years until his passing last year.
“He lent his craftsmanship, love and service to help shape the
Habitat homes we supported, so it was an honor to build these two
homes in his memory,” Boykin shared.
This is the first time NNS has sponsored two homes at once.
BayPort Credit Union is also a partner on the 20th home.
“Having the support of HII, not just financially but also in the
time invested by shipbuilders at the Newport News Shipbuilding
division, meant the world to us on this historic project,” said
Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater
Williamsburg. “We know our new homeowners will be able to enjoy
these homes as places of fellowship and security for their families
and will create new memories in them for years to come.”
The three-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot homes are in the Southeast
community of Newport News, on land donated by the Newport News
Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
The families are purchasing the homes from Habitat with a
30-year, no-interest mortgage, which illustrates Habitat’s
objective to give families a “hand up” rather than a “hand out.”
The payments are cycled back into the community so more homes can
be built for qualifying families.
Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg is a
non-profit organization serving the cities of Hampton, Newport
News, Poquoson and Williamsburg and the counties of Charles City,
James City, New Kent and York. For more information, visit
