In this riveting episode, Cheri Witt-Brown, a visionary leader, shares how she transformed Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity into a beacon of innovation and hope. Building has always been in her DNA—from childhood days on her dad’s construction sites to leading the charge on groundbreaking affordable housing solutions.
A devastating 2013 flood in Northern Colorado became a turning point in her life, compelling her to join Habitat for Humanity and take on one of today’s most pressing challenges: affordable housing. Cheri reveals how Habitat bridges divides—uniting communities, volunteers, and even political opposites—to create pathways to home ownership and build generational wealth.
Discover the far-reaching impact of transformative projects like Hope Springs, a nationally celebrated development redefining what inclusive, community-focused affordable housing can achieve. Through bold partnerships and visionary leadership, Habitat is rewriting the rules of housing equity.
This episode is a powerful testament to what’s possible when vision meets action—proving we’re not just building houses, we’re building futures.
