Our Process

I’ve learned my place in the community and how to utilize my strengths and apply those to my house, my community, and the other cohort.

I’m learning how to adapt and build meaningful relationships with a wide variety of people.

Through the Design Center experience, I have discovered creative and innovative approaches to urban place-making. I have been inspired by the possibility of the city, a special place in which a diverse mix of people can live in an environmentally conscious manner.

It’s hard after college to go from a ‘ready-made’ social circle of people in the same stage of life to living in a city on your own. I’d say the best part of PULSE is that it gives you a group of people who are going through similar things.

PULSE has made it easy for me to adjust to a new city through the intentional community that it fosters

It has been wonderful to live in community. Even when we disagree with each other, it’s been really cool to be very respectful of each other, to act out of a deep caring for each other.

I love the flexibility of the PULSE experience.  I love the openness of the staff that are here to support us throughout the year. I also love the freedom to do whatever I’d like to do to get to know my community, neighborhood and self.

I also just really love the environment of Habitat for Humanity –everyone is really friendly and welcoming and open to new ideas. I’m having a fantastic time.

I work with a really awesome staff! They are great, talented, creative people who I know have my back. I also enjoy the opportunity to work with Northside kids and feel like I make an impact on their lives.
