The rain didn't stop Habitat and the Elton/Morgan family from kicking off Habitat's second annual Women Build Home in Springville last Monday. Instead of shoveling "mud", Nacole Morgan and her friends and family joined Women Build participants and others in the Springville City Council Chambers for a short program and then launched balloons outside the Springville Civic Center to celebrate the start of their new home. Following the event, everyone enjoyed shaved ice from Kona Ice. Special thanks to Springville Community Development Director, Glen Goins, for his inspiring words and for helping us move locations at the last minute.
The four bedroom, two bathroom, two story home, located at 243 South 400 West, Springville, will be built with at least 75 percent local women, and will be sold to Morgan and her four young sons. The home will be the local Habitat affiliate’s 71st Utah Valley home and Habitat's second full Women Build Home.
Women Build is Habitat for Humanity’s program for women who want to learn construction skills and build homes and communities. This program brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions of women and children worldwide.
Local women are still being sought to help build the home. To register or to find out more, please look on line at https://habitatuc.org/womenBuildCircleOf100.htm.
