  • Big change of plans: The Habitat house information has changed. Instead of building a new house at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, we will now be renovating a house at 1009 1st St. SW. See a map of the new location here. Due to limited parking, volunteers working on the house and those attending the blessing of the house Saturday are being asked to park at the north end of the Miracle Mile parking lot (115 16 Av NW) (between Friday's and Miracle Mile) and carpool. Shuttles will be available from the Miracle Mile parking lot to the house. This information replaces the information in the Pre-Assembly Report.
