Volunteers put time, effort into building affordable housing for Habitat for Hum

Volunteers at Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity built a house on Saturday three walls at a time.


Much like an old-fashioned barn-raising, volunteers nailed together the frames and stood them up, showing the exterior of the 1,110-square-foot house. Once the exterior walls are built in the lot behind Habitat’s Restore in Bergen Park, they will be hauled to Empire and assembled into the third of eight Habitat homes being constructed there.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization devoted to building simple, decent, affordable housing. Blue Spruce Habitat covers from C-470 to the Eisenhower Tunnels, western Jefferson County and Park County to Kenosha Pass. Since it started in 1990, it has built 40 homes.
