Neighbors Lacey Lund (prospective House #14 homeowner) and Michael Bunker (who closed on House #13 in November 2022)
What’s remarkable about this photograph is the breadth of tasks being undertaken, all at once, by artist and Habitat Grand County Board Secretary Lisa Steen. Not only is she designing, painting, and decorating birdhouse ornaments for the Habitat tree in the recent Festival of Trees in Fraser, but she’s also participating in a Homeowner Services Committee meeting via Zoom. Talented bunch!
Prospective Habitat homeowners Michael Bunker and Lacey Lund at House #14 in Hot Sulphur Springs
The increased building pace of our invigorated volunteers has led to a happy consequence — the chance to build relationships between Habitat neighbors in Hot Sulphur Springs. Michael Bunker, who soon will complete the purchase of House #13 and move in with his three children, has been doing final finish work on his own house, but also has been helping frame House #14 next door alongside prospective homeowner Lacey Lund. This is how Habitat for Humanity of Grand County is building a community, one house at a time.
Long-time Habitat board member and job site MVP Dick Schamberger underwent heart bypass surgery recently after suffering a minor heart attack. We’re not saying his recent exertions assembling our affiliate’s first IKEA kitchen are responsible, but that project did involve a lot of swearing. Wife Ann reports that Dick came through the July 8, 2022, surgery in great shape, and we look forward to him returning to his passion for community service as soon as possible.
One of the central tenets of Habitat for Humanity is that selected homeowners become partners in the construction of their own home. In late May, Lacey Lund, a single mom from Fraser, logged the first of her minimum 200 hours of “sweat equity” to make her dream of home ownership a reality. If she completes the program, she and her two youngest children will live in House #14 built by Habitat for Humanity of Grand County in Hot Sulphur Springs.
The foundation, footers, and crawl space are rising on a Hot Sulphur Springs lot adjacent to the two homes Habitat for Humanity of Grand County has completed since 2017. The small but energetic volunteer workforce hopes to break ground on yet another house along the same seven-lot stretch by mid-summer, aiming to complete both by spring 2023. To make that dream a reality, HFHGC needs more volunteers willing to pitch in. No experience necessary! Please contact Executive Director Lisa Cooper if you can help in any way. Let’s rise to Grand County’s urgent need and get hard-working families into these affordable homes ASAP.
