Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley, which includes Longmont, completed renovations on a historic cabin in Estes Park.
The rehabilitation included work on the inside and outside of the cabin. It received new windows and a roof, a new sewer line, an upgraded electrical system, new floors, kitchen and bathroom.
“We were so excited to reengage with the Estes Park community on this project. Through our partnerships with volunteers, funders, and the local government, we have been able to provide another homeownership opportunity to an individual working in Estes Park. The home will become part of Estes Park’s permanently affordable housing stock,” said David Emerson, executive director of St. Vrain Habitat.
Funding for the project came from the Colorado Division of Housing, the Estes Park Housing Authority, the Northern Colorado Community Foundation and local donations.
This summer, Habitat will build an additional five homes in Estes Park. It has also begun a 12-home build in Longmont at the Sugar Mill development in southeast Longmont.
