Habitat for Humanity works on area house
By Eric Weslander Kansan correspondent
Dust flew and hammers pounded on a September Saturday morning inside an East Lawrence house. About 25 volunteers working with the KU chapter of Habitat for Humanity were busy renovating the group's first home.
For more than two years, the KU chapter has been working with the Lawrence chapter to build and renovate low-cost housing throughout the city. The principle of sweat equity allows the homeowner to receive an interest-free mortgage by working more than 300 hours on his or her home and other Habitat for Humanity projects.
The house, located near the corner of 13th and New York streets, was bought from the city by the Lawrence chapter and then turned over to the KU chapter. In the past, the KU chapter only organized groups such as fraternities, sororities and residence halls to work with the Lawrence chapter.
"This is really the first time that KU has had a house of its own to work on," said Mike Beaty, Naples, Fla. senior. "We've taken a step away from just helping out the Lawrence chapter to doing things on our own."
Beaty, who works with both chapters, is the construction manager on the site. That job involves instructing volunteers and coordinating techniques and materials.
"The biggest challenge is handling big groups," Beaty said. "We're basically dealing with unskilled labor, so we're trying to find out what works."
Anna VanCleave, Overland Park freshman, emerged from the dust to get a breath of fresh air. She was on the site with her scholarship hall's community service committee.
The KU chapter plans to build or renovate three more homes by January.
KU Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization made up of many groups of volunteers, with new people showing up at each meeting. Any student can join the chapter.
"It's fun," Van Cleave said. "You spend all week thinking really hard, and it's nice to do something physical."
"We have a large mailing list," said KU chapter president Jeff Williams. "It's hard to say how many members we actually have."
Because Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization, fundraising is a key element. Last year, the group sponsored a 5K run and a volleyball tournament, raising approximately $1,800 through entry fees and donations.
But whether its hamming or running, Beaty said that everyone involved could make the experience unique.
“What’s great about Habitat for Humanity is that everyone involved seems to find a different way to make it rewarding,” he said.
