A Home of His Own

When a homeless Gulf War veteran entered Weber State as a student, he knew it would change his life. What Travis Parsons didn’t know was that fellow Wildcats would also help build him a home.

In partnership with Habitat for Humanity, Weber State’s design engineering technology students designed two homes at 141 30th Street in Ogden. Various groups of WSU volunteers helped turn a dream into reality for Parsons, who moved into his new home in February.

“I just cannot believe that this is true,” Parsons said. “I am getting a new house. Seems too good to be true. Sometimes dreams happen.”
