​New Habitat Family Selected

The HFHMC Homeowner Selection Committee has selected the 20th homeowner to partner with. Congratulations go to Andrew and Elizabeth Tepley of Swanville. 

​“At first we were in shock and couldn’t believe it. Once reality set in, we were beyond excited! This will be life changing for our family”, said Elizabeth Tepley.  The Tepley’s have 3 children ages 15, 13, and 8.  Their 13 year old daughter has Angelman Syndrome. Her special needs are being addressed for this build.  “We feel that the kids will flourish and if our daughter with higher needs if finally able to use her room and bed, then she will be happier and it will aid in her health”, said Andrew.

​Every effort is being made to secure a place to build in Swanville so the family can stay in their school district. If not, the build will be in Little Falls.
