A Brief History of Rice County Habitat for Humanity

The Rice County Habitat for Humanity affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International was chartered in 1991, and we built our first house in Northfield in 1993. After building our second house in Faribault, Rice County Habitat for Humanity reorganized and grew stronger. We hired a part-time Executive Director, opened an office, and formed a twelve-member Board of Directors. Most importantly, we increased our building capacity to one house each year, constructing:

• Our third house in Dundas in 1997-98
• Our fourth house in Faribault in 1999
• Our fifth house in Northfield in 2000-01
• Our sixth house in Faribault in 2001-02
• Our seventh house in Northfield in 2002
• Our eighth house in Faribault in 2003
• Our ninth house in Northfield in 2004
• Our tenth house in Nerstrand in 2005

Our build capacity was increased to two houses in 2006, with both homes being built in Nerstrand. In 2007, we will again be building two homes (in Nerstrand and Northfield).
And we aren’t stopping there! Our immediate goals are to:

1. continue our building capacity of two houses each year and
2. explore Habitat house-building opportunities in other Rice County communities.

With the support of individual volunteers, skilled craftsworkers, churches, businesses and organizations, we feel confident that we will achieve these goals. Thank you for supporting Habitat’s mission to build decent, affordable housing in partnership with qualified homebuyers!

Building a Habitat home is more than building the structure it is about building a community.

A our community gets stronger and more vibrant with each Habitat home built.
