Huge congratulations to our incredible Samantha for her outstanding work in the Pathways to Homeownership program, which earned her the Emerging Leader in Housing award at the Housing Washington conference last week! 🌟 Tacoma's talent and dedication to affordable housing was shining bright in that room. We couldn’t be more proud! 💕🏡

Huge thanks to Wells Fargo for coming out to American Lake Townhomes! 🙌🏽 Your team did incredible work, helping Ken with framing by nailing in plywood panels for the walls, and assisting Jess with landscaping. 🌿🏠 We appreciate your continued support in building affordable homes! 💙

🎉 Happy 100th Birthday to President Jimmy Carter! 🎉

For over 35 years, President Carter volunteered with and advocated for Habitat for Humanity. His dedication to affordable housing is legendary, with estimates showing the Carters have helped build and repair 4,331 homes across 14 countries. 🛠️💙

Big shoutout to Doka USA for coming out to American Lake Townhomes last week! 🙌🏽 7 of their team members were hard at work framing with Ken, while 4 others joined Jess on landscaping and gardening. 🌿🏠 Your support is helping bring safe, affordable housing to life! 💙

Housing counselors are some of our greatest resources to advance your financial and homeownership goals. Some may say they’re even the “best kept secret” of homebuying – and we think the results speak for themselves! 😉

You CAN achieve your goals with the right help on your side. Talk to one of our housing counselors at https://www.tpc-habitat.org/habitat-programs/housing-counseling/

We were thrilled to have AA Asphalting 36 on-site this month donating their labor to help with a key part of our South Tacoma triplex project! Not only did they work on the driveways and sidewalks, but they came out again this week to lend a hand with construction as volunteers.

And we can't forget Miles Sand & Gravel for generously supplying the concrete! Thank you!

Hats off to everyone! 👷‍♂️

💙 Volunteers are the heartbeat of Habitat! 💙

We are endlessly grateful for the dedication, compassion and hard work that our volunteers bring to each project. Your willingness to roll up your sleeves and pitch in makes a real difference in creating safe, affordable homes for our community!

Thank you for all you do! Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community. 🏠✨
