That empty lot on Fourth Street is on its way to becoming a new home, thanks to a grant to the Berthoud Habitat for Humanity from CARHOF — the Colorado Association of Realtors Housing Opportunity Foundation.

Berthoud Habitat Executive Consultant Anne Reichenberg said Tuesday the $1,100 grant will go towards building up the foundation on their third home, which is located on Fourth Street. “We’d love to thank CARHOF for their generosity over the years for funding our houses,” Reichenberg said.
 
The project officially broke ground in April with excavation for the foundation starting in June.
