ROANOKE - Habitat for Humanity wants an elderly man with a meager fixed income to move so it can raze his house and make way for 25 new houses designed for working low-income families.
Habitat for Humanity of Roanoke Valley offered Henry Casey $15,000 for the property, but he said that's not enough money for him to buy another home.
For three years, Habitat for Humanity has been working to acquire and clear lots so it can build the local agency's largest community of small, affordable homes.
Casey, 76, can't move into a Habitat home because he does not meet all of the eligibility requirements.

Police group sues leader
FAIRFAX - The Fairfax County Police Association has sued its former president, alleging he spent thousands of dollars of the group's money to buy items such as a new motorcycle and airline tickets for his wife and daughter.
The lawsuit demanded that John R. Burdette account for more than $41,000 in association funds that were spent during his 1991-94 tenure.
Burdette, 41, said he's done nothing improper but otherwise refused to comment on the suit.
The FBI and the police department conducted separate investigations of Burdette's spending and determined that no laws were broken.
