HII Dedicates 19th Habitat For Humanity Home
June 17 2022 - 10:00AM
Global defense and technologies partner HII (NYSE: HII) announced
today that the company’s Newport News Shipbuilding division joined
elected officials and community leaders Thursday to dedicate the
19th house shipyard volunteers have constructed in partnership with
Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg since 2002.
The ribbon-cutting welcomed Mickeia Hunter and her children —
Cinque and Nehemiah — to their new home. Julia Jones, vice
president of manufacturing and industrial manufacturing and systems
engineering at Newport News Shipbuilding, presented the house keys
to Hunter.
“Whether you’re building a house or a ship, you need the right
tools, processes and materials to get the job done,” Jones said.
“While the outcome may be a little different, the builders’
dedication and pride is the same. It’s this same feeling that we
celebrate in this new house and the promises it offers. Just like
the crew of a ship, now it’s time for the Hunter family to take
this house and make it a home.”

The three-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot home is in the city’s
Southeast community, built on land donated by the Newport News
Redevelopment and Housing Authority. More than 100 shipbuilders
contributed more than 600 volunteer hours to help with construction
outside of their work shifts.
“Mickeia’s father is a retiree from the shipyard, so it was a
special connection that volunteers from the shipyard partnered on
this project. We couldn’t have done it without them,” said Janet V.
Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater
Williamsburg. “We know the Hunters will be able to enjoy this home
as family and create new memories for years to come.”
The Hunters will take ownership of the home after agreeing to
pay back the no-interest mortgage on time. The payments will be
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
