Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding division joined elected officials and business and community leaders on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 to dedicate the 12th home shipyard volunteers have constructed in partnership with Habitat.

Among the well-wishers who welcomed Jeremiah and Crystal Lamberty and their children to their new home were Rep. Bobby Scott; State Sen. John Miller; Cathy McQuade, president-elect, Habitat for Humanity board of directors; Karen Joyner, CEO, Virginia Peninsula Food Bank; and Michael Lee, vice president, United Steelworkers Local 8888.

Carolyn Pittman, Newport News Shipbuilding's vice president and chief financial officer, spoke on behalf of the shipyard. "This is such a rewarding experience because it benefits the community, it benefits a family, and it is really helping to rebuild the community that is so vital to the continuation of our business at Newport News Shipbuilding," she said. "It's a great partnership."

Turning over the keys to the new homeowners is always the highlight of the event, said Brian Stockunas, business manager for submarine fleet support and submarine engineering at the shipyard. Stockunas has volunteered his time to assist Habitat for Humanity for 10 years.

"Building a Habitat for Humanity home is a lot like building a ship," he said. "It takes many skilled individuals, working together with a common goal," he said. "The phases and execution are similar with many support groups chipping in along the way, all intertwined with a lot of communication and coordination. Much like a ship, the house doesn't really come alive until we hand it over to the owner."

Homeowners Jeremiah and Crystal Lamberty are enjoying the excitement the new home has brought to their four children, who showed off the paint colors they chose for their bedrooms. Crystal admitted she couldn't wait to start decorating the rest of the 1,400-square-foot house that boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

"It's a dream come true, really," Jeremiah said. "It's something God intended for us."

Habitat for Humanity and Bank of America are pleased to announce a dedication ceremony on Monday, April 21, 2014 at 10:30AM at a recently renovated home located in Hampton!

This donated Hampton property is part of a three-year national partnership announced last year through which the bank will donate up to 2,000 vacant properties to Habitat for Humanity affiliates nationwide for renovation or reconstruction. This is the 5th home donated to HabitatPGW!

The excited homeowner-to-be is Chontae Cook, who was born and raised in Pensacola, FL and became a resident of Newport News in 2006. Chontae is an employee with the City of Newport News and the mother of a beautiful little girl! Chontae has completed all 200 hours of “sweat equity," and she will repay her no-interest mortgage over a period of 30 years, illustrating Habitat for Humanity’s objective to give families a hand up, rather than a hand out.
