Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh partnered with Mount Saint Mary College (MSMC) for a t-shirt design contest ahead of its 2025 Walk for Housing. Issiah Figueroa, a Cybersecurity major from Newburgh, created the winning design, which will be featured on official event shirts. Graphic Design student Brooke Mulqueen of Montgomery earned runner-up honors.
The walk, themed “Building Tomorrow Starts at Home,” takes place Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m., starting and ending at MSMC. The 2.5-mile route highlights Habitat Newburgh’s past and current home builds and supports seven homes currently under construction. Participants can receive the exclusive t-shirt by donating $20 or more.

On March 1, Habitat Newburgh hosted Building Fashion to Build Community, a vibrant event celebrating inclusivity, empowerment, and unity through fashion. Models from NFA, MSMC, the Boys & Girls Club, and longtime Habitat staff and volunteers took the stage, showcasing diverse styles and the strength of our community. More than just a fashion show, the event highlighted how collaboration and creativity help build a stronger, more connected Newburgh.
We're celebrating Women's History month by showcasing two Millie's at the center of Habitat Greater Newburgh's mission.
We are honored to have served the City of Newburgh for the last 25 years, and while we are reflecting on our work, and celebrating the past, we are also building for the future and the initiatives we have in store.
The donation program is both sustainable and builds affordable housing.
