Roseburg Volunteers Build a Future Home

By Lindsey Doi

 

ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Volunteers and Umpqua Community College students are working together to build Roseburg's newest Habitat for Humanity House. This is the seventh Habitat home built in the Roseburg area in the last decade.

 

The construction is still in its initial phases, but with so many helping hands, workers expect this house to come up much faster than other Habitat homes, as volunteers are working nearly every day of the week to get it built. Organizers estimate they'll have a roof up by Christmas.

 

The home being built in Roseburg is just one of more than 300,000 other houses constructed internationally by Habitat for Humanity. The non-profit organization says it's provided safe and affordable housing for more than 1.5 million people across the globe.
