139 Weybosset Street

  • Raise the Roof was honored to partner with Alicia Tirado and her daughter Dalilah, the Habitat partner family who built their house at 139 Weybosset Street in New Haven. This was the Raise the Roof community’s nineteenth sponsored build. Alicia and Dalilah moved into their completed home in time for the 2022-2023 school year.
