70 Woolsey Street

70 Woolsey Street in New Haven was Raise the Roof’s eighteenth sponsored Habitat build and the home that John and Stephanie Briones built, purchased, and call home with their children, John Jr. and Sophia. The Raise the Roof community was honored to partner with Stephanie and John and help to build.

Volunteer groups

Several youth and community groups are named and thanked: St. Andrew’s youth; Daniel Hand Habitat Club; St. John Bosco Parish Youth Ministry; Pilgrim Fellowship (a First Congregational Church of Guilford service group); Valley Regional High School Interact students; Valley Regional High School Habitat Club; the Raise the Roof board itself; the Intrepids hiking group; and Knights of Columbus Sacred Heart Council 5780. For each group, the text briefly notes their build days, highlights their energy, generosity, or repeated service, and expresses gratitude for both their on-site work and, in some cases, financial support toward future Habitat partner families.
