Habitat for Humanity Returns to New Construction with an Orange City Project. After a year defined by emergency flood recovery, Habitat for Humanity is shifting its focus back to new home construction in Siouxland. The organization recently broke ground on its latest project in Orange City, aimed at providing a local family with a permanent place to call home.
Kurt Franje, Sioux County Director for Habitat for Humanity, says the project is moving quickly. Following a groundbreaking in March, contractors and volunteers have already made significant progress on the excavation and foundation phases. The community has shown strong support, with over 50 “sponsored studs” decorated by local residents now framed into the structure.
