Newark Homeowners Sue Habitat For Humanity

habitatmidohio.org

Two homeowners in Newark who were assisted by a central Ohio non-profit have filed a lawsuit against the organization. The suit accuses Habitat for Humanity MidOhio of shoddy construction, fraud and broken promises.  Their houses were destroyed by fire in 2015, and the owners claim they're being forced to pay mortgages on homes that don't exist. Habitat officials have yet to comment.
