Help Us Honor President Carter

In honor of President Jimmy Carter's life and service, Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity is holding a memorial door signing, symbolizing the many doors President Carter's work opened for people throughout the world. We have doors at both ReStore locations -- Northeast, 6250 Tutt Blvd., Colorado Springs, 80923, and South, 411 S. Wahsatch Ave., Colorado Springs, 80903 -- as well as our construction site at The Ridge at Sand Creek, 868 Bidwell Dr.

Anyone is welcome to sign the doors with memories, prayers, and words of thanks. No political comments, please. After the signings conclude, the doors will be sealed and permanently displayed at each location.

Join Our February Book Club!

In February, we’ll read Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond for our Book Club.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning work chronicles the struggles of eight families and individuals living in low-cost apartments and run-down trailers in Milwaukee. Desmond analyzes the causes of poverty in the United States and identifies the importance of having a secure home -- which connects to Habitat's mission of ensuring that everyone has access to a safe, affordable, decent home.

Join us on Thursday, Feb. 13, to discuss the book!

11 a.m.-noon in person, ReStore Northeast, 6250 Tutt Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80923. We’ll meet in the conference room (go to the cabinet area in the northwest corner of the showroom and look for the door!). Snacks will be provided, and you are welcome to bring lunch. Add the in-person discussion to your calendar!

7-8 p.m. on Zoom
Meeting ID: 874 3162 2617

Announcing the Paul Johnson Memorial Build

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.

We're excited to continue his legacy through the Paul Johnson Memorial Build, a home where Tamara, a childcare teacher, will live with her family.
