Lubbock Habitat for Humanity celebrates 2024 Capitol Build
Lubbock Habitat for Humanity completed its newest housing project, the “2024 Capitol Build," with a closing ceremony Saturday in the 2100 block of Dartmouth Street.
Lubbock Habitat for Humanity was selected by Texas Habitat for Humanity as this year’s only Capitol Build affiliate, a huge honor for the entire Lubbock community, according to Lubbock Habitat Executive Director Christy Reeves.
"This designation signifies not only a momentous achievement but also a demonstration of the need for affordable housing in Lubbock," she said, adding that the ceremony capped off more than a week of hard work by a team of volunteers and Habitat for Humanity staff.
Lubbock Habitat for Humanity was selected by Habitat Texas as the one affiliate in the state to participate in this project.
The Capitol Build project involved the building of portions of a house on the steps of the Texas Capitol building earlier this month in Austin before the home was transported to Lubbock, where it is being finished out. Ultimately, the home will me made available to an eligible Lubbock Habitat recipient.
Lubbock Habitat is still seeking funds to cover the construction costs for this house. Individuals, churches, companies and groups can donate by contacting Christy Reeves at creeves@lubbockhabitat.org or by coming by the Habitat ReStore located at 3630 50th Street from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
