Our Fairplay Homeowners

Kirsten Kraus

When asked what homeownership will mean to her and her family, Kirsten says:

“I’m an elementary school teacher at South Park and have lived in the area for over 20 years. My rent has gone up about 35% in the last few years. Local salaries have always been low, but with this cost of living, it’s unmanageable. For me, a Habitat home means stability in the community my family and I love.”

Kirsten’s family is the first of two families selected to purchase one of the two Fairplay units to be completed in 2023.

The Anaya Family

After moving here to take on a critical role in our community, this local first responder and their growing family of 3 (soon to be 4!) were living in a cramped 1 bedroom apartment that never quite felt like home.
With a young child and another on the way, they longed for stability, community, and a place where their children could thrive. “We toured the house and could envision our sons growing there,” they shared. “The more we think about it, the more excited we are to be part of a tight-knit community.”
Through affordable housing provided by Summit Habitat for Humanity, that dream is now a reality. This home means not just shelter, but opportunity, connection, and peace of mind. We’re thrilled to welcome this family into the Habitat neighborhood and so proud to support those who serve the people of Summit and Park County every day.

The Nafus Family

Anna and Andrei have lived in Summit County for over a decade, working in various hospitality and retail jobs throughout the county.  They have two children who now attend Dillon Valley Elementary School and love their new home on Deer Path Road.

They were selected as the homeowners of the new Habitat home in Dillon Valley which was completed in Oct. 2021.  It is here that they will find stability, establish roots, and never have to worry about finding another place they can afford.

“It means, for us that we no longer should worry about finding another place or being able to afford it” says Anna.  “We feel safe to be able to put down our roots in the community.”

The Lubneuskis have lived in various locations in the county and have sometimes rented parts of homes, but have always dealt with steadily rising rent and the challenges of finding anything affordable.  They have dreamed of homeownership ever since Andrei moved from his native Belarus to Summit County in 2005.  Now through their partnership with Habitat, their dream has come true!
