School of Urban Studies & Planning Faculty
Habitat for Humanity (September 22, 2004)

The week before classes started, SUSP faculty joined together for a day of work on a Habitat for Humanity
project at NE 44th and Killingsworth. The project is a 14-home community that started with a Blitz Build in
September 2003. It is scheduled to be completed in December 2004. Click here to find out about the families
that will move in.
