"We haven't had a lot of work to do with them (Oxford's chapter)," Loochtan said. "There hasn't been any land or locations."
Lipnickey said the College Corner house project has allowed the Oxford Habitat chapter to work much closer with Miami and gain more volunteers. The Oxford chapter hopes to help build even more homes following the College Corner project, starting a trend of building two to three homes every year versus Oxford chapter's one home every two to three years, Lipnickey said.
"This is the first time the Oxford chapter has gone outside Oxford," Lipnickey said. "We're excited, the village of College Corner is excited and the Miami students are excited. It's always great when you can build another home for a family."
Oxford resident and recipient of the College Corner Habitat for Humanity home, Betty Fisher, said she is happy to be selected to live in the house the community service group is building.
"I'm excited," Fisher said. "It's going to be a big change for us (my family)."
