Home Builders Association of Greater Salt LakeThe Home Builders Association of Greater Salt Lake built a home
in three days and donated it to Habitat for Humanity. The energy
efficient house is 1200 square feet and has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath.
The home is not a typical Habitat for Humanity Home because it is built completely by professional builders as opposed to volunteers. Over 250 individuals contributed their time and skills to build this home. Fifteen other Habitat homes will be built at the Wolstenholme Home Project in Magna, Utah which is the first subdivision for Habitat for Humanity Homes. The homebuyer, Tracy Elkins is a single mother with three children. She is required to perform 200 hours of labor to build other homes in the project before she can move into her home. HUD contributed $530,000 to purchase land and install the infrastructure for the Wolstenholme subdivision through HOME Funds through Salt Lake County.
