What is expected of Women Build?
- Cost of sponsorship per home is $60,000. The total cost of the home is $120,000 (includes the price of the lot, land development and construction costs).
- 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.
- Women Build chairperson, Laraine Saldivar Gillespie, helps 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 Women Build volunteers.
Where will the Women 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 I participate in the Women Build?
- Learn construction skills and then use them to build an affordable house for a deserving family.
- Work with other women from all walks of life in the fight against poverty housing that so many women and children face.
- This activity makes a difference not only in the lives of homeowner partners, but in the lives of donors and volunteers, too.
