2. Habitat for Humanity Presentation
Lynn Brown from Habitat for Humanity presented information regarding the formation
and function of Habitat for Humanity. In this program, homeowner candidates and
volunteers work together to build simpie, decent affordable housing. Mortgage
payments are reinvested into the program to fund future construction. Classes are held
for homeowners for education in the areas of maintenance, landscaping, etc. Habitat
likes to spend no more than $30,000 for land to build a single home. Under the right
Circumstances, they would purchase run-down property, remove the structures and build
new houses. Lynn stated she would check into the possibility of Wheat Ridge Housing
Authority homeowners attending the classes conducted by Habitat. She will report back
to Alan White with the information.
Habitat for Humanity has just completed an IS-unit townhouse project in the city of
Lakewood and would be interested in partnering with the Wheat Ridge Housing
Authority on affordable housing projects.
