Scroll down to read more about how Habitat's original office has been transformed into Tracy's new home, the June sales calendar, and volunteer opportunities!

Welcome Home Tracy!

Join us in the celebration of Tracy's home dedication!

"It's time to live in a Habitat for Humanity home; I would like to have a backyard for family to hang out in."

Habitat's First Brick and Mortar:

Executive Director Scott Engmann, Operations Manager Heidi Christner, and Controller Karla Fitschen all began their Habitat journey in Habitat's first office on Herman Street. Donated by a local dentist and moved to the heart of North Rapid, the building boasts a remarkable history in our community. As the Habitat crew outgrew the three room structure, it became a rental property temporarily housing The Center for Equality and Echos in Time Tattoo Parlor. Then in 2020 Habitat began the process of remodeling it back into a single family dwelling.

Now in two weeks the old office will start it's new chapter along with future Habitat homeowner, Tracy!

About Tracy

Tracy started the Habitat program in January of 2022 with a huge support system in tow. In a little over 5 months Tracy completed 250 hours of sweat equity, including financial classes, home maintenance classes, and working on the construction site. Tracy has always worked with the goal of independent living in mind, but many of us have enjoyed every minute of cheering her on!

"Tracy has overcome many challenges in her life to reach her goals and she looks forward to achieving her next goal, the American dream of homeownership."

-Karri Saothoff
