Wall Raising

Palouse Habitat for Humanity has selected the future homeowner for its 23rd home build. The public is invited to celebrate with a Wall Raising at the home at 109 W. Park St., in Palouse. Kelsey Blair, a single mother of a 16-year-old son, works at the Gar-Pal School district. Blair was encouraged to apply by former employers and friends. Palouse Habitat expects the Blair home to cost $258,000 to build. The funds to build the home are raised through grants, fundraisers and donations of materials or labor. Palouse Habitat spends funds raised locally, purchasing building materials and hiring local subcontractors. Help build the Blair home: Individuals and groups are welcome. Tools, supervision and training are provided. We’re building three days a week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Fill out the interest form online at palousehabitat.org/volunteer.
