After a productive summer finishing House #14 in Hot Sulphur Springs, our dedicated volunteers recently began work on the storage shed for House #15 right next door. We hope to get it under roof and dried in before the snow gets too deep.

The application process is OPEN NOW! A huge thanks to the construction team for building these signs that are located throughout our community.

An extra special thanks to US Bank, Fraser Valley Distilling, and Rendezvous Center for allowing our signs a temporary home while we look for our next potential homeowner.

Thanks to large group of volunteers, we made terrific progress on House #14 during the weekend of Sept. 23 and 24. With many of the regular crew unavailable, volunteers Bryan McCay and Jon Letendre (in photo), along with prospective homeowner Lacey Lund and contractor George Davis from Maple Street Builders, spearheaded a busy weekend in which we finished the siding and timber work on the driveway, installed all of the windows, and prepped the roof for installation by the good folks at The Roofing Company. We hope to have the house dried in by the end of next weekend so the furnace can be installed. Then we’ll break ground on House #15 before the snow flies! If this momentum continues, we’re on track to nearly quadruple our normal capacity in 2022-2023.
