Something BIG has happened in our mountain community--
the Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity Home Builders Blitz 2008

The Habitat Home Builders Blitz was a great success!  Two homes were built in just nine days in Kittredge from September 3rd through 12th.  This incredible undertaking was make possible by 5 local homebuilders and more than 40 different subs and suppliers who generously donated their time, labor, material and expertise, as well as local banks and others who provided cash donations.

The spirit of generosity and community was evident as everyone worked side by side to deliver these homes on time.  Local churches, companies and others provided breakfast and lunch and stood in awe as the homes went up before their very eyes.  Denine Perry and her two daughters, and Yvonne La Fon and her son and grandson will now have a decent, affordable, and beautiful place to call home. 

The builders:
Habitat is extremely grateful to the five generous local builders who have signed on to lead the Home Builders Blitz. 

Our wonderful builders are: (L to R) Perry Timon of Timon Development, Inc., Fred Turek of Triad Builders, Liam Cassidy of Cassidy, Inc., Andy Ades of Ades Design Builders, Allen Hicks of Triad Builders, and Roger Ladd of Brittany Builders.

The donors and community:
The Home Builders Blitz galvanized the community to step up and do more for affordable housing, and raised awareness for the positive contributions that the building industry provides for our community.   Many companies and people made the blitz possible and Habitat is so very grateful.

Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity extends its deepest gratitude to everyone who made the Habitat Home Builders Blitz possible.  In 2009 we will build another duplex, and with enough support, will possibly build two more duplexes, right next to this one.  Join us, we have many more homes and lives to build!

About the homeowners:Two hardworking families are selected to purchase these homes.  One of these is Yvonne Le Fon and her children (pictured) who are extremely excited to be a part of the Home Builders Blitz. 

Denine and her twin daughters are also thrilled to become homeowners. Denine has moved often in her search for an affordable place to live. Until recently, she and the girls lived in her mother's basement. Denine knew she wanted more for her daughters and applied for a Habitat Home. Yvonne and Denine have both completed their 250 hours of sweat equity, and look forward to seeing their homes go up in 9 days!
