Students from the Grand Rapids Campus of Cooley Law School helped to build a new home for an appreciative family in Grand Rapids. As Habitat for Humanity volunteers, students primed and painted walls and helped install vinyl siding during several work days during the fall of 2005.
For the past two years, volunteers from Cooley have helped to build homes in Grand Rapids for families in need. Cooley student LeeAnn Ford serves as the Habitat coordinator for the GR Campus and recruits students for the work days.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that builds affordable homes for families in need. The homes are built through the help of volunteers. The homebuyers also put in 150 hours working on a home prior to beginning their own. The homes are sold with zero down and zero interest mortgages. Instead, the down payment is 300 to 500 hours of work for each family. Construction of the homes is also supported through tax-deductible donations.
