#25 | 2024 – Waseca, MN |
Court Sacred Heart #1424, Waseca, is the recipient of this grant and we are working with the Two Rivers HFH Affiliate, out of Rochester. This affiliate serves the counties of: Waseca, Steele, Dodge, Olmsted, and Wabasha. The current Habitat for Humanity home is located at 1475 Sage Lane, Owatonna. This build is unique as it is a “Veteran’s Build” which means the home will be for a veteran and family, and most of the contractors hired are veteran owned businesses. This is a larger home than the usual HFH homes. It will be a 4-bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage home. Two Rivers HFH has partnered with the Owatonna High School shop classes. The interior and exterior walls are being built by the students at an off-site location. They will be brought over to the building site and set up. Hopefully the house will be buttoned up before winter, and then the interior will be worked on through the winter/spring. Habitat is hoping this build will be wrapped up by June. Currently, applications are being evaluated as prospective homeowners.
Court Sacred Heart, along with Two Rivers HFH has designated two dates as CDA build dates, January 15 and February 19. This will be interior work – possibly hanging drywall, cutting out electrical boxes, painting, staining, varnishing, and more.

2019 – Fergus Falls |
he past few months have been very exciting for the Fergus Falls Court St. Cabrini #1466! It really doesn’t seem possible that in just 9 short months, the new Habitat for Humanity house was completed. From groundbreaking in May until the dedication in January, members worked tirelessly to make sure that a family had a home. Megan
and Little Frank are excited about starting this new chapter in their lives. This ceremony
was especially thrilling as the National Court had awarded an other $10,000 to the build. National Regent Olga Salmaniego and National Regent Elect Sherry Nilles flew in to attend the festivities. Their spouses even got a National and State CDA officers join
Ct. St. Cabrini members to celebrate the completion of the latest CDA Habitat for Humanity home.
Our CDA sisters locally and around the state have been with us every step of the process, from accepting our grant proposal and at tending the groundbreaking,
to helping with a Blitz Build in September and then celebrating at the dedication on January 14. CDA members from North Dakota also attended the banquet honoring
our special guests. We thank everyone for your prayers and hard work! It truly helps us see the miracle of how a bag of Gummi Bears becomes a happy home.

#14 | 2014 – Marshall, MN |
Charles Sanow, Redwood River Habitat for Humanity Executive Director, provided the following information on 9-3-14. “The house (located on 1st Street in Marshall) is progressing rapidly. The walls were pre-constructed and brought to the site. Next week – on the Sept. 12th — Friday they will start interior painting and work will begin at 9:00 A.M. on Saturday. When the painting is completed, they will be ready for cabinets installation. On the weekend of September 19-20, hopefully , they will be ready to work on finishing the doors and trim; following that comes the floors and final touches. (I suspect there is always yard work to do.) Habitat is hoping for a dedication the last weekend of September if all goes as planned. (No guarantees). Things are moving along rapidly. Time is rather short, but if your Court is interested in being a part of the build, you are welcome. You are invited and now is the time…The house site is easy to find. On Hwy. 19, turn and go three blocks southwest (seems like west to me) of Main St (Hwy 59). You will see a closed Sinclair Station. Go South and you will find the habitat home in progress on First Street.”
