Open <br />Vance Zehringer, Habitat for Humanity — presented information on how Habitat for <br />Humanity works and on the recent home that has been built by Habitat in Elk River. Mr. <br />Zehringer explained that Habitat for Humanity International is conducting a Home Builders <br />Blitz program in June 2006 and they are hoping to build 1000 houses nationwide in five <br />days. He stated that Sherburne County has been selected as one of the home sites and that <br />the local Habitat for Humanity chapter would like the house to be built in Elk River. Mr. <br />Zehringer stated that a national builder will build the house for free and all that the local <br />Habitat for Humanity needs to do is find a buildable lot and construct the basement. Mr. <br />Zehringer asked the HRA to use any resources available to them to help Habitat find a lot in <br />Elk River. He stated Habitat would like to have a lot donated to them but they would be <br />willing to pay a minimal fee for a lot. He noted that if a lot cannot be found in Elk River the <br />house may have to be built elsewhere in Sherburne County. <br />
