LAHFH Needs

During 2007, LAHFH will provide new homes for 10 families. This goal is a significant increase which will strain all of our resources. To be successful, we will require more building sites, cash, tools, equipment and construction materials.

Primary Need - Land
Prior to building, we must have a place to build. To meet our objective for 2008 and beyond we must obtain the following building sites:
  • Crosby/Ironton - 2 sites
  • Brainerd - 6 sites
  • Breezy Point - 3 sites
  • Park Rapids - 1 site
  • Pine River - 2 sites
  • Akeley - 1 site
  • Nevis - 1 site
  • Walker - 2 sites
  • Hackensack 2 sites
Call LAHFH Executive Director, Kevin Pelkey, if you can donate or assist in obtaining land which will provide a satisfactory building site. 218-828-8517
Financial Resources
The need for financial assistance is great. LAHFH house construction costs are currently approximately $75,000. Thus $600,000 is required if we are to provide 8 homes in 2008. This $600,000 provides construction costs; additional funds are needed to cover necessary overhead.
Gifts of Stock. Equities that have appreciated can be donated to LAHFH at their current value. The donor can deduct current value and avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation.

Include LAHFH in your Will or Bequest.
