A sod-turning ceremony took place on the property located just off Main Street Rideout.
Thelma Wilkens-Page is a one of the Habitat members and says they have raised about 75 percent of the money they need.
Meanwhile, Ashley Neniska will be the recipient of the new Habitat home.
She and her daughter are looking forward to finally moving in.
Actual construction will begin next Monday, when the site is excavated and work begins on the foundation.
