People across our community, and all over the world, partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers, and pay an affordable mortgage. With your help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build a better life for themselves, their families, and our community!  Join us as we build homes in Fairplay and Dillon over the next five years.

SHFH will also be tentatively working on several new homes in the Summit Cove area near Keystone. We hope to  break ground within the next few years!

In Fairplay, we have broken ground as of March 2022.  As an Enterprise Zone project, all donations to this project receive additional tax incentives so it offers a great opportunity to support one of our neighboring communities.

We are partnering with Kenny Nall and his team of Mountain View Custom Homes in completing our Fairplay homes in Park County. Mountain View Homes has an extensive history of building homes in Summit County, Chaffee County, and Park County. They bring a high degree of professionalism and expertise to their projects and are especially adept at working with the construction of homes for Habitat For Humanity. They will complete the remaining four homes in Fairplay that are focused on providing affordable homes for teachers, police officers, first responders and municipal employees.

“We have new homeowners in our first two units, and one home that is ready for homeownership! Also, we expect the construction of the three other homes to be completed by the 2025 New Year! Please email admin@summithabitat.org for more details on how you can apply!”

Thank you to the generosity of Summit County Government and Summit Homes for helping to make this project a reality!

A tentative project could bring five new homeownership units to this community minded Summit County neighborhood.
