Groundbreaking Milestones: Construction Begins at E. Rogers Road Site
A vacant lot in Longmont is about to become a vibrant community of hope, stability, and affordable housing. On May 27, a dedicated coalition of Habitat partners, local builders, generous funders, and future homeowners gathered together for a joyful ground-blessing ceremony, marking the official start of construction at the E. Rogers Road site.
The event celebrated not just the physical breaking of ground, but the years of vision, collaboration, and community investment that made the moment possible.
A Journey Years in the Making
The story of the E. Rogers Road project began back in 2018, when the land was acquired through a combination of a generous donation and a strategic purchase by St. Vrain Valley Habitat for Humanity.
Turning raw land into a buildable site requires a village. Thanks to a powerful partnership featuring vital support from the City of Longmont, the Colorado Division of Housing, Habitat for Humanity of Colorado, and countless passionate individual donors, the project has successfully transitioned from the drawing board to active construction.
“What was once unused, vacant land will soon become a foundation for strength, stability, and self-reliance.”
9 Families, 9 Bright Futures
This development is more than just a construction project—it is a life-changing opportunity. The investment and effort of the St. Vrain Habitat community will soon culminate in safe, affordable, and permanent homes for 9 amazing local families.
As housing costs continue to rise, these homes represent a critical step forward in ensuring that local families can afford to live, work, and thrive in the community they love.
