Thursday, February 10, 2022- (Hudson, WI) St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity
(SCVHFH) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Creative Homes that supports the purchase of lots for affordable housing.
Creative Homes is an award-winning home builder with three decades of home construction in Western Wisconsin and Minnesota. “Housing prices continue to rise across the country and at the same time industry reports show inventory is down 23% over 2020” said Creative Homes President Nick Hackworthy. “But a tighter market should never prohibit people from accessing safe and affordable housing. A partnership with St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity reflects our core value of giving back to hard-working people here in Pierce & St. Croix Counties and is embedded in our company culture and the work that we do.”
SCVHFH will initially purchase four lots in New Richmond, WI as part of the partnership. “We are proud to partner with the Hackworthy family and Creative Homes as we look to the future and our long-term building opportunities,” said SCVHFH Board President Joel Skinner. “Market statistics show the median home price in New Richmond was up 8.6% in 2021. Combined with rising consumer prices that heavily impact those in need of affordable housing, a partnership like this is invaluable in helping us accomplish our mission.” 
Additional funding for land purchases is provided by grants from the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation and the Fred C. and Katherine B. Andersen Foundation.

Everyone at Creative Homes was very easy to work with. They were very kind, helpful, professional and helped us through some ARC roadblocks so we could get the home we always wanted. My husband and I highly recommend Creative Homes!
Our home turned out beautiful. I could go on and on but I will just add that I am extremely happy we chose Creative Homes as our builder and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering building a home!
The building process was so fun and easy; every week it was so exciting to see progress on our home. The design studio made for an easy experience when picking all the materials for our home. From start to completion, their attention to detail was phenomenal. Creative Homes has a solid team of experts and were always there to answer any question we would have. There is no doubt that I would recommend Creative Homes to anyone building a home.
