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.

Me and my wife had the best experience with Creative Homes! They were very professional in their services. Our Creative Home sales rep, was outstanding!!!! He showed great customer service and went above and beyond his job to help our transition go smoothly. We definitely recommend Creative Homes for your next new home!
The entire time at Creative Homes has been phenomenal to work with through our building process. This is the 3rd time I have built and everything about the process has been second to none. I appreciate the entire Creative team and cannot speak highly enough of their work!!
From the initial conversations and choosing our lot and floor plan, to our design meeting and the actual build itself Creative's team made us feel at ease and went above and beyond. We felt like they truly cared and looked out for our best interests.
I cannot express how happy we are with the overall experience we have had with Creative Homes. Everyday my husband and I say “we love our house”. Everything from the flooring to the fixtures turned out better than we could have imagined. From the beginning to the end Creative was there for us every step of the way! We are so grateful to Creative Homes for building our dream home!
We absolutely loved our new home from the first time we saw it, and have felt the same ever since moving in! From start to finish the entire process working with Creative Homes was smooth sailing. We couldn't be happier with our house or our home buying experience!
