Groundbreaking Celebration 

Friday, May 23, 2025 | 10:30 AM
2121 Lloyd Avenue, Waukegan, IL

Join us as we break ground on one of the first homes built using a brand-new design created by architect Rick Phillips who worked to create beautiful spaces that maximize space, functionality, and impact for Habitat families. This informal gathering will kick off the build season and celebrate the thoughtful design work that will help shape brighter futures.

We’ll also be honoring NSH, Inc. for their incredible generosity in sponsoring this home. Their support is helping make affordable homeownership a reality for a local family—and we’re so grateful.

Open Houses

Come see what we’ve built. Together.

Join us for a special look inside our Habitat homes — some are in the middle of construction while others are ready to welcome their new families! Before move-in day, you’ll have the rare chance to walk through these incredible transformations and see the power of community in action. No RSVP required.
