When staff from the Birmingham HUD Office heard that Field Policy and Management
were planning a volunteer workday to help build a home for a needy family in
celebration of Homeownership Month, the number of volunteers grew to include
additional HUD employees and some family members. Many others whose schedules
conflicted with the Saturday, June 19, 2004 work date, expressed a desire to
plan additional volunteer workdays so they could experience the joy of sharing
in the construction of this home.

Habitat began construction on the home for the Michelle Figueroa family in
March 2004. The dedication of the home occurred Wednesday, June 23, 2004. The
crew of HUD staff and family members worked long and steady hours to remove
construction debris, paint and install trim and shelving, paint the exterior
masonry foundation, and to perform any other tasks needed to move construction
ahead so Ms. Figueroa and her family did not have to experience any delays in
moving into their new home.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Birmingham builds houses across Jefferson County
including Fairfield, Woodlawn, Homewood, Crestwood, Norwood, Wylam, Ensley,
Graymont, Edgewater, Irondale, Leeds and Brighton.
