More Partner Families, More Habitat Homes Planned for 2012
Habitat is increasing the number of houses built per year from one to three in 2012, thanks in large part to grants from Suncadia Fund for Community Enhancement, Habitat for Humanity International's Capacity build grant, the Kittitas Homelessness and Affordable Housing fund, and our very generous, supportive donors and volunteers.
Choosing three partner families and building three houses simultaneously is the second major milestone KC Habitat has achieved as we've worked toward our goal to build one house per year for every 10,000 residents in the county by 2014.
The first milestone came this year, when we began work on two homes. One is being built in S. Cle Elum with partner family David and Evelyn Heflen and their six-year-old granddaughter. The other, in Kitttias, is being built with partner family Chad Morey. Both are set to be completed by June 30, 2012.
Construction on the next three homes will begin around July 2012 for the parter families the board will select in January.

The Habitat Store Welcomes You!
The Habitat Store offers new and nearly new building supplies, appliances, furniture and home goods to the public at incredible savings. Even better, the proceeds from your purchases go toward building Habitat homes in Kittitas County.
Have surplus construction, renovating supplies, or household items? Donate it to the Habitat Store instead of adding it to the waste stream. For a list of the most needed items, as well as items we can't accept, click this link to the Habitat Store page. We can even arrange to pick up large items you are unable to bring to us!
Have four hours a week to volunteer? Whether it's preparing stock or helping customers on the Store floor, come and join us. We'd love to have you!
