HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Huntington WV Area Habitat for Humanity will host 14 students from Boston College the week of March 7-11, and 10 students from Johns Hopkins University the week of March 14-18, to help build homes for families in need of affordable housing in our community. The students are participants in Habitat for Humanity’s national alternative spring break program, Collegiate Challenge.
