Fourth Habitat project is family's dream home
By Melissa Rodgers
For Gary and Freida Houk, owning their home is no longer a dream. It is a reality.
Kansan staff writer
In July, the Houks and their four children moved into the fourth and largest home built by Lawrence Habitat for Humanity Inc.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that helps families who have inadequate housing build their own homes.
The Houks spent about 700 hours helping Habitat for Humanity volunteers build the four-bedroom house and park at Harper and 27th streets.
The Houks and volunteers laid the foundation for the house in March. During the months that followed, they made improvements during the week as well as on weekends.
On one Saturday, about 30 people came to build. Three walls were raised that day, said Freud Houx, who has lived in Lawrence all of her
"It was really neat the way everybody came and helped out," she said. "When the house was finished, I missed everybody."
Houk said her two children adored their home's volunteers.
The children also worked on the house. Jessica Houk,10, helped paint and hammer.
"I helped carry Sheetrock," said Brett Hauk 5.
The Houks worked more than the 300 hours required of Habitatfamilies, said Ginger Ratzlaff, Habitat for Humanity board director and chairperson of the family selection committee.
Habitat for Humanity requires that each family spend time working on building its own house, Ratzlaff said.
The Houks found out about Habitat for Humanity when Freida Houk saw a friend of hers from her first grade class on a local television station speaking about her Habitat for Humanity home. Now the former classmates are next door neighbors and their children play together.
Freida Houk said that when the family decided to apply for a Habitat home, her husband doubted their chances of being selected.
"We couldn't ever seem to save enough to have a down payment on a house."
Families also must make interestfree housing payments to Habitat for Humanity, she said.
AT THE
Many Lawrence companies in the building industry have donated time and supplies to Habitat for Humanity houses. Ratzlaff said.
Ratzlaff said Habitat for Humanity paid for the houses by the time they were completed. Families also are property taxes and home insurance.
"We had as good a chance as anybody else," she said.
Past financial difficulties will not prevent a family from being selected for a Habitat home, Ratzald said. That it can live within a fixed budget.
After the Houks were selected in August 1909 by Habitat, they chose a building to accommodate them.
She said Habitat for Humanity was building a fifth home for a family. But because of a lack of money, it has yet to be completed.
She said families applying for Habitat homes must be hard workers, live in inadequate housing and be able to make payments on their new house.
"I wanted a house with a basement," Freida Houk said. "I am afraid of storms, and I would always have to go to my mom's."
