Support a Local Veteran Family Through the Gingerbread Home Build
Join our virtual gingerbread home decorating and fundraising competition! We're decorating gingerbread homes to raise funds to build a home for local Army veteran family Willie and Barbara!
Businesses, organizations, families, and groups of all kinds (within El Paso County) are encouraged to participate!
We hope you'll join us in this fun event to support a local veteran in achieving affordable homeownership. Register to participate by Nov. 19!
In Memoriam: Paul Johnson
Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity is saddened by the passing of Paul Johnson, who served as the affiliate's executive director from 1997 until his retirement in 2014. Under his leadership, Pikes Peak Habitat launched our first ReStore at 411 S. Wahsatch Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903, 20 years ago. Proceeds from that store, along with a second Pikes Peak Habitat ReStore -- which opened at 6250 Tutt Blvd., Colorado Springs, 80923, in 2022 -- have contributed to the construction of 128 homes in El Paso County. He also spearheaded the development of two neighborhood communities: Woodmen Vistas in Colorado Springs, where Pikes Peak Habitat built 37 homes, and Country Living in Fountain, with 34.
Pikes Peak Habitat opened in 1986 and had built 25 houses when Johnson assumed leadership. The spring he retired, the affiliate dedicated its 125th -- and Johnson's 100th -- home.
Pikes Peak Habitat, and the many El Paso County families who are living in homes of their own thanks to Johnson's enthusiasm and dedication, are grateful for his legacy.
Please join us in remembering and celebrating Paul Johnson.
Three Families Celebrate Homeownership Milestones
Please join Pikes Peak Habitat on Saturday, Sept. 21, at The Ridge at Sand Creek, 5303 Beauport Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80915!
First, at 9:30 a.m., we'll hold a ground blessing for Tamara's and Glenda's families. This marks the start of construction on their new homes.
Then, at 10:30 a.m., we'll welcome Miranda's family to their new home and neighborhood! Their home dedication commemorates the start of a new chapter in their lives.
We are thrilled to celebrate with all three of these families! All of their homes are built through the Fund for Humanity, which includes funding from several sources, including our ReStores.
Sign up for Women Build in November
Women Build events provide the opportunity for women and others who are interested to take a proactive role in promoting affordable homeownership in El Paso County. Women and children are the most likely to be affected by poor living conditions.
Any woman or person who wants to learn how to build or repair a home is invited to join! No construction skills or experience are necessary.
Our next Women Build weekend is November 7-9.
