On March 29, Adanech dedicated her Habitat home surrounded by family, friends, and folks who volunteered during the construction of the home. Soon, she'll sign the closing papers and move in, beginning a new chapter in the lives of her and her young daughter. And while her home was pleasantly packed at the dedication celebration, there were hundreds more hands who took part in making this house a home.

Last week, two families fulfilled their dreams of becoming homeowners,  surrounded by Habitat staff, family, friends, and supporters.

The month of February wraps up with three wonderful Habitat Home Dedications.

Last week, Twin Cities Habitat celebrated eight families who achieved their dream of homeownership.

On Wednesday, December 13, Habitat staff, volunteers, sponsors, and a 7^th grade basketball team celebrated LaVera and her son, Matthias, as they start their new chapter of homeownership.

On Thursday, November 30, Twin Cities Habitat celebrated the 8^th annual Habitat Homeowner Networking Event with close to 700 people in attendance. 

As the weather gets colder and the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of and grateful for the people and places in our life that bring us comfort. For many, home is that place filled with those people. 

The fall is full of change: leaves turning colors, kids heading back to school, and for some, buying a new home.
