Completed Homes

Founded in 1997, we have completed eleven new homes and have renovated one. They are pictured below with the most recent home at the top. We are beginning our thirteenth home in October 2011 on Jennifer Lane in Manchester.

We have photo galleries for our most recent builds. Scroll down to the house that interests you and click on the link to a gallery.

We dedicated this home on May 22, 2011. We started building the home on October 13, 2010. We built the home for and with Alfonso and Laura Giorgi and three children. We finished the landscaping on June 1, 2011.

We received a wonderful letter from the Giorgi family. “We would like to let you all know that we are enjoying our beautiful home! We feel so blessed each and every day. God brought such wonderful people into our lives during this whole process. We hope that you can all truly understand that you are forever in our hearts. Also, we know that many of that we didn't even meet: behind the scenes people: but we know that nothing could have been accomplished without you as well,

It is so hard to put into words how grateful we are and the love we have for you all. Thanks again to all of you that we never even met; board people, people who donated and such; thanks to all of you very wonderful and talented men and women that were at the site for build days. We will look at pictures and smile for the rest of our lives and feel like you are part of our home and family. Our children love their rooms and yard more than you will ever know! From our hearts, we thank you all!” Laura and Alfonso Giorgi – Summer 2011

We dedicated this home on November 7, 2010. The Reed family of six moved in to their new home after Thanksgiving.

"We would like to thank everyone for your time and assistance in helping to build us a home that we have dreamed of for many years. We know you could have been out doing other things, but we truly appreciate your help in making our home the successful home it has become. The home is beautiful. Thank you from all of us." The Reed family (Tina, Jeff, Taigon, Ashley, Katie, Carter and Diana Martell)

Asa's Way, North Bennington

The photo of this home on Asa's Way, North Bennington, was taken in early November 2009. The Siegrist family moved in over the weekend after Thanksgiving.

"We have so many stories to tell and we haven't even moved in yet. We've prayed for many years for a home of our own. We've never had such a blessing bestowed on our family." Spoken by Patrick Siegrist at the home dedication - November 15, 2009. Update - I would love to share some news about life in our new home!... It's sinking in a lil' bit more, since we've paid our first mortgage payment, utility bills, fuel, trash removal and snow plowing... haha! The joy!... "We love it and we're still in awe over what God has provided for us, and will be eternally grateful to everyone involved! Patrick Siegrist

"We always said that we knew we could build a house if we got a bunch of friends and family together. And that is exactly what we did. We were able to build a home with people who became our friends, and then became like family. Waking up every morning is a blessing that will continue to amaze and uplift us 20 years from now. " George and Kelli Lewis - August 2007

"What a whirlwind of a year 2006 has been for our family. First, we were blessed with a wonderful Christmas gift a year ago when Habitat called us to let us know that we were going to be their next Habitat partner. Then, during the next year, we encountered exactly what being a partner was. A community came together and helped us build our dream, and we are now living in this dream and in its warmth and openness. This home will never be just a home, but the end and beginning of framework put together with caring, love, happiness and countless amounts of new friends who we will never forget.

We will never look at the word community in the same way again. Habitat for Humanity becomes an addiction; once you have worked side by side with such wonderful giving people (not only the ones you work with at the work site, but those also behind the scenes that you may meet only once and in some cases not at all). The hard work from so many people goes deep in appreciation. We knew they wanted it for us as much as we did. We have our home, a wonderful beautiful home, and if you are in our neighborhood, please stop by and see just what you have created.”

"When Rich asked me if I would like to be a Habitat partner, I stood there in my kitchen shaking like a leaf. I got off the phone with him and said “thank you, God, for taking care of us.” I remember crying because I was so happy. I think that was one of the happiest days of my life up until today.”

How do I thank you for building us a home? How do I tell you all what it means to my family and me? My heart feels like it may burst with happiness when I pull into the driveway. I walk in the door and I am amazed at how beautiful our house is.

At the dedication, volunteer Fred Hilliard, presented Ruth and her family a Habitat bird house, complete with the new Habitat logo.

As a single parent, I did not think owning a home was going to be possible. But you all donated your time, materials and talents to make it a reality. You are terrific people; thank you all for living the “Good Life. From our home and our hearts we sincerely thank you,

Well, it has been almost one full year in my new home and sometimes it still amazes me that this wonderful property belongs to me. I smile every time I walk up onto my deck and look at my back yard, listen to the stream below and then open my back door.

Last winter I had to shovel my driveway for the first time. I had the biggest smile on my face. Never in my life would I have guessed that I would be so happy to shovel snow. It is amazing the power of ownership.

The dedication and faith of the board members, the volunteers and all those in between is something to be admired and respected, for if it were not for your belief in the cause and your belief in me, I would not have this wonderful home.

To all those who have spent Saturdays giving so much of their time for this project, projects before mine, and to all the future endeavors to come, I have the utmost respect and admiration for you. Without people like you, I would not live at 112 Morgan Street.

272 County NY Road 61, Jackson, New York - Completed - Fall 2001
Special thanks to all of the wonderful Habitat for Humanity volunteers that made our house a dream come true. Owning your won home builds confidence, pride and a feeling of belonging all of which are so important in life, especially for young children. I have watched my children’s attitudes change for the better day by day; they are proud of their home and of themselves for being able to say that this is our house! Words barely express what the Habitat for Humanity program has done for us. We are and will continue to be forever grateful. Marti, Nate, Leia, Ash and Christian Clark

To say this has been a special year for us is an understatement. At the heart of the home is a 2 X 4 stud, which has been autographed by many of the individuals and families who have supported the building of this home through their contributions of money, time, and sweat. These people understand that a home is one of the greatest human needs; it is a human need which they care very much about.

Over the past year, we have had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside many of these people who translate their caring into action. To them and to many of the people we have not met: the bankers, the lawyers, contractors, corporate leaders, home makers, and the anonymous donors who worked behind the scenes to make this dream a reality, we would like to say “thank you!” Fred and Doreen Miller
