"’Triplex Nears Completion!’
Excitement is building as Redmond Habitat for Humanity nears completion on the 23rd Street Triplex!
On Saturday June 26th, Redmond HfH Board Members and volunteers painted the second story trim of the entire building. Most of the work was in the air, and required a lift and scaffolding.
The triplex was built several years ago and the ‘in-the-air’ painting project was one of the last tasks to complete before final sale to Habitat families. Each unit has 3 bedrooms, 1 ½ baths, and a fenced backyard. Paving and a parking area will be done this year, as well as the creation of a park-like setting for the three families…."

Local Bend HFH news:
"’From Child’s Dream of a Playhouse Comes a Family’s Dream of a Home’
To meet the need for affordable housing in our community, members of Central Oregon Builders Association partnered with Bend Habitat for Humanity in the building of three unique children playhouses. The playhouses will be raffled off at Bend Habitat’s Tenth Anniversary celebration on August 7, 1999, at high noon at Full Moon Drive. The three playhouses were designed by local architects and artists: Gabe Kubichek and Portia Murphy. The log playhouse design came from Oregon Log Homes in Sisters.
Parr Lumber, Miller Lumber, and Oregon Log Homes have stepped forward to make this event a reality by sponsoring the playhouses and donating the materials needed for their construction. With great commitment, local contractors Gerald Eischen, Leon Petz, and Alison Bublitz coordinated the playhouse construction. With labor of love, local volunteers and Habitat Care-A-Vanners diligently hammered a dream into reality.
Raffle tickets are available at the events below as well as from Parr Lumber, Miller Lumber, Bank of the Cascades, and Bend Area Habitat office. Playhouse tickets are $2.00 each or three for $5.00.
Raffle proceeds will directly benefit Bend Habitat’s commitment to address the need for affordable housing in our community." Article taken directly from Bend HFH Fax Transmittal, 6/28/99.
Note: The Care-A-Vanners are a group of people who travel around in their RVs to help build affordable housing.

"’Help a Habitat family’s dream come true at Higher Ground!’
The Higher Ground neighborhood in northeast Bend is working with Habitat for Humanity to provide a lot on which to build a home for a deserving family. Our 36-home co-housing community is dedicated to building a diverse and mutually supportive neighborhood of homeowners and renters—in short, we believe a great place for a Habitat family. We are delighted to have already provided one homesite for a Habitat family, and hope to add another—with your help!
Our challenge is to raise $5,000 in donations to Habitat to allow them to purchase a lot here on which to build a home. One of our neighbors has issued a $2,500 challenge grant, so any donation you make will be matched, dollar for dollar.
If you want to make a tax-deductible donation to this endeavor, please send a check made out to "Bend Area Habitat for Humanity" to: 138 NE Revere, Bend, OR 97701. Please indicate that the donation is for the Higher Ground lot so that it counts toward our goal! Thanks!" Article taken from Bend HFH fax, 6/14/99."
