Habitat for Humanity serves low-income families who are unable to receive a traditional home loan. Affordable home construction is completed by applicants with the help of hundreds of volunteers. The homes are then purchased by applicant families with no-profit, 0 percent interest mortgages.

The newest future homeowner is LaTara. SLV Health’s benefit dinner will purchase roof trusses for LaTara’s home-to-be. Additional support for LaTara’s home is given by Rite of Passage Carpentry Apprentice Program, Southern CO Community Foundation, Anschutz Family Foundation and many, many kind hearts and hands!
