On October 23, 1998, a St. Cloud family of four received a brass key
to their dream of home ownership, a new home that would not have
been obtainable if it were not for the coordination of Habitat for
Humanity and donations from members of the Central Minnesota Builders
Association (CMBA)."We are really happy, excited, and thankful for our new home" stated Jeff Falconer, the husband of Sandra Falconer and father of Brody and Sophia. The home was built at 248, 22nd Avenue North. "Building this Habitat for Humanity home was a tremendous undertaking", stated Joe Torborg, 1998 President of the CMBA. "The response from members was phenomenal, and that makes me proud to be affiliated with the CMBA." "The project
was the first of its kind for the association and it took off like
a rocket during the busiest time of our building season. Members
volunteered their time and products for over 90% of the project.
In a few short months, the finishing touches were complete"
stated Torborg.  
The Falconer's home is made affordable to them through the Habitat for Humanity program. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, the Falconer's invest hours of their own labor into building their home and the houses of others. Congressman Collin Peterson presented the house key to the family in honor of the "The House That Congress Built" program, a national effort to build a Habitat for Humanity house in every congressional district in the country. |
