Invitation to Elected Officials Build Day - Lift a Hammer with Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity

[Kristin Candella]

Dear Elected Officials,  

 

We believe HOME is KEY to economically vibrant and inclusive communities with thriving neighborhoods and residents. We are grateful for the work you do on policy at all levels.  This is the framework within which we build.  It matters so much when providing homeownership opportunities to buyers earning a low-moderate income.   

 

To that end, we would like to invite you to put down your pens and lift a hammer so you can be part of building with us in Fort Collins. If you haven’t done it, it is FUN.  

 

As many of you know, we have a partnership with Poudre High School which has led to the construction of 8 modular homes in the parking lot of the school. Homes 9 and 10 are currently under construction  (this is the first year that they are doing 2 HOMES in 1 Year). Such a leap for these teachers and students, they are fantastic.

 

And thanks to Hartford Homes we currently have affordable lots in their Mosaic neighborhood as well as many more for years to come.  So, it is a real pleasure to invite you to build on Poudre Build homes 9 and 10 in Mosaic after the school year is done and the homes have been moved to their foundations (with a crane – it is quite a sight).  See attached invitation to join us on Thursday, July 18^th and a QR Code to register online.

 

Warmly,

 

Kristin

Hi Kristin,

When I use the QR code to register for the 7/18 Mosaic Build Day, it sends me to the Harmony Cottages construction event. Can you help? Thanks.
