On Wednesday, Frazier Place will add its fifteenth and final home to a neighborhood solely built by Habitat for Humanity.

"Watching all the families, volunteers and corporate sponsors has been amazing," said Sarah Mericle Waltman, community outreach coordinator for Habitat for Humanity. "It's been life changing for me, as well as many of these families."

The national organization, which provides homes for those in need, allows qualified families to use zero-interest, no profit loans.

"They are hardworking, they are the working poor, and they are people who have jobs in our community, but just don't qualify for a conventional loan," Mericle Waltman said.

Among the qualifications, Habitat for Humanity requires home owners live or work in Ada County for at least six months, have a housing need, and make "30 to 50 percent of the median income," she said.

But Frazier Place, named after one of the Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity’s founders Dr. Robert Frazier, is building more than homes. The program is also building a deep-rooted community where families can build a life and memories.

"We are different people, different ethics (sic), from different countries and different cultures, and it's beautiful you know," said Aden Aden, a homeowner in the community, who's originally from Kenya.

Aden says the neighbors also help each other out, and are close friends.

"I've lived in an apartment, but moving into your own house, is totally different. It was the best day of my life," he said.
