The Family Selection team had selected two<br />

partner families. One was the Diaz family, a<br />

single mother with two children, and the other<br />

was the Parsons family, a disabled and retired<br />

veteran with his two service dogs. HFHWD<br />

obtained two lots next door to each other. They<br />

are located at 129 and 141 30th Street, Ogden,<br />

UT. By luck and fortune, the two selected partner<br />

families ended up being neighbors.<br />

The groundbreaking ceremony for both families<br />

was held on April 11th, 2017.<br />

The original plan was to build the two homes<br />

within 4 to 6 months. However, there were many<br />

obstacles pertaining to the location of the two<br />

Habitat Homes.<br />

We were about 130 days out due to permits. It<br />

wasn't until around July 2017 that we were able to<br />

start construction for the Diaz family.<br />

We appreciate volunteers, community members,<br />

business donors, and other supporters for helping<br />

our affiliate build the two new Habitat Homes.<br />

The Diaz family was able to move into their home<br />

on December 22nd, 2017. The Parsons family<br />

was able to have their home dedication on<br />

February 3rd, 2018.
