Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County Home Facts:

  • HFHLPC meets or exceeds the national standards of the for-profit building community.
  • HFHLPC builds to meet or exceed Energy Star Version 3 standards.
  • All HFHLPC homes are built to adequately house the family that has met all our Home Ownership requirements for eligibility. The average costs of the homes range between $160,000 and $185,000; well below the average values of the homes in our community.
