Who participates in the USA Build?
Pikes Peak Habitat is currently inviting agencies and businesses to join in the USA Build. If you know of any government, military and defense agencies, or businesses that may be interested, please invite them to join or contact the Habitat office.
What is expected of my agency or business?
- A contribution ranging from $3,000 – $60,000 toward the cost of the Habitat home. The total cost of the home is $120,000 (includes the price of the lot, land development and construction costs).
- Shifts are scheduled Thursday – Saturday mornings from 8:30am to noon, and afternoons 1pm to 4:30pm. Volunteers do not need construction experience to work on the home (we have professional construction supervisors on staff), but they must be at least 16 years old.
- Each agency or business provides a liaison to help coordinate and communicate with Pikes Peak Habitat.
What is expected of Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity?
- Select a qualified family committed to partnering with the program.
- Provide land, architecture plans, construction supervisor and materials.
- Assist with volunteer coordination and fundraising efforts when requested.
- Clearly communicate expectations to all partners.
Where will the USA Build take place?
Woodmen Vistas, our newest and largest development to date that includes 37 homes near Woodmen Road and Powers Boulevard.
How is the homeowner chosen?
Habitat has a fair and unbiased selection process and chooses families based on three criteria:
- A need for affordable housing
- The ability to pay their no-interest mortgage
- The willingness to partner with Habitat
Why should my agency or business participate in the USA Build?
- Make a difference!
Each Habitat family becomes more self-sufficient and less dependent on public assistance. And their children are more likely to have improved physical and mental well-being, graduate from high school, and eventually have a home of their own. - Strengthen your team!
Getting people out of the office and into the community can be a life-changing reminder of the power of teamwork. Employees will leave the build site more motivated than ever to work for an agency or company that believes in giving back. - Partner with a unique brand!
PPHFH provides an opportunity to link your agency or business with a widely known charity brand in El Paso County and around the globe. We can design a promotional campaign to meet your strategic marketing objectives. - Build our community!
With our significant local military presence, Colorado Springs can unite agencies and business in the government sector, allowing them to accomplish more by working together.
