"MILTON — Tina Draper and her family will move into a new house on Barnum Street this fall.
Five houses are being built on Barnum Street in the largest effort conducted by Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity, said David Mullin, the group’s executive director.
Many of the volunteers who will build the Milton homes work for GE Healthcare Information Technology in South Burlington. The company, formerly known as IDX Systems, is deploying 700 of its 800 employees on four-hour shifts during a two-week period — generating 2,800 hours of labor."

2 of our younger partners build sweat equity for their family
For more than 20 years, Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity has helped to change the lives of local families through simple, decent and affordable housing. We are an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity based in Chittenden County, Vermont.
Habitat for Humanity, a worldwide organization, has built more then 250,000 homes over 26 years. Habitat recipients give 200 hours of sweat equity per adult (up to 400 hours) to build homes, then purchase them at cost with no interest loans, that in turn build more Habitat houses. We call it a hand up.
