I am recently retired and knew that I wanted to do something to help people. Being a part of Habitat’s ‘Regulars’ volunteer group each Wednesday has fulfilled that need in my life.”

BLITZ BUILD

JULY 23-JULY 31, 2015

More than 6,000 volunteer hours were accumulated during Habitat’s 2015 Blitz Build event. Beck Building Company provided daily leadership and volunteers from the Blitz Home Builders accounted for nearly a third of the event’s total number of volunteers. Members from the group traveled to Eagle County from 17 different states across the country.

FAMILY STORY

For my children I like to lead by example. We compete over our GPAs, and they tell me it is not fair because I am only taking one class but I tell them that it is fair because I have a full-time job.”

A

FOUNDATION

FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Ana became a Habitat homeowner 14 years ago when her son Nicolas was 5 and her daughter Nicole was 4. When she first moved into her Habitat home, Ana was working at Walmart. Building her own home gave her the confidence to search for better jobs. For the past eight years, Ana has been working as an Early Head Start home visitor for Eagle County, serving low-income, at-risk families with children under 3 years old, to better prepare them for school.

Ana’s oldest two children graduated from Eagle Valley High School (Nicolas in 2015 and Nicole in 2016) and each were named Guardian Scholars and awarded four-year scholarships to attend Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction.

WE BUILD

LAND PURCHASE

LAND SECURED TO BUILD THROUGH 2018

After months of negotiations, Habitat Vail Valley closed on a .704 acre parcel of land on December 8, 2015. It will allow the organization to build 12 additional homes (six duplexes) in the Stratton Flats neighborhood in Gypsum. The land was purchased from Stratton Flats Homes LLC and provides Habitat with the property it needs to build homes through 2018.

The importance of this land acquisition cannot be overstated in terms of its impact on our community. 12 more families will achieve homeownership in our resort community where housing costs are a significant challenge.”

KRISTIN KENNEY WILLIAMS, VAIL RESORTS

EL SALVADOR

Maybe we are crazy, but we all actually love the work, the manual labor it takes to make it all happen. Even with all of the dirt, sweat, bug bites and backaches, it’s great to meet the Habitat family and their neighbors. They make it all worth it!”
