Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona has recently shifted its attention to starter homes, with the program’s pilot house set to be completed soon.
The first two starter homes will be on a plot on Butler Avenue, part of a land trust from the city. Each will cost $100,000 to build, funded by donations. Money for the construction on the first has been donated from the M3F festival in Phoenix, with the project’s general contractor, Wespac Construction, providing its services for free. The second has been funded by individuals using the Arizona tax credit.
Due mostly to their size, the starter homes can be built quickly, with about eight weeks between breaking ground and finishing touches. While the foundation is being prepared on site, students in Coconino Community College’s home construction program are framing the homes on campus.
