Executive Director Tom Fisher-King credits Habitat's success to its volunteers.
"We have people that work every Saturday and days within the week and help us to complete this. We of course bring in sub-contractors for roofing and concrete work, that king of thing, but our volunteers are what keep us moving."
Funding has also been important - local companies, foundations, and even individuals have "sponsored" homes. He says each one now costs about 160,000 dollars - an increase of about 30,000 just since the pandemic began.
In addition to its 30th anniversary, Fisher-King says Habitat also celebrated the 20th anniversary of its Restore which sells a variety of salvaged and donated building materials.
"I've heard frequently as I walk the Restore floor, that someone is looking for that special tool, something that they're looking for in particular as far as furniture, and so on. But it's the cost and they're able to obtain that certainly cheaper than buying new."
It's also been 10 years since Restore Health and Home first opened.
This weekend (6/17), Habitat will break ground for another new home, and dedicate two more completions early in July.
