At this income level, housing sale prices, mortgage interest rates, down payments and closing costs generally put home ownership beyond a family's reach. Blue Spruce Habitat provides an opportunity for home ownership to these families. Blue Spruce Habitat has been active in the Evergreen community since 1990. The affiliate covers the general Evergreen mountain area including the communities of Idledale, Indian Hills, Kittredge, Bergen Park, Evergreen and the Highway 285 corridor from Morrison through Aspen Park and Conifer to Pine. Four houses have been built in Evergreen since 1990, another almost near completion, and another that has been started and should be completed by next summer.
Land is needed for future projects.
If you are interested in being a part of Blue Spruce Habitat there are many volunteer opportunities available. Her Place in the World of Volunteerism and Beyond Three years ago things for Kathy Chavez looked bleak. With no job, no money and no home, Kathy did not know how she was going to take care of her daughter, let alone her baby on the way. Kathy promised her daughter that, somehow, she was going to find them a nice home in which to live. Soon after, Kathy discovered Habitat for Humanity and her life changed forever.
