Last Friday, Joni Evans of Forks received the keys to her new home. Evans is seen here in this photo with Laura Capo, Rural Development, single housing specialist with the USDA, and Evans’ dog Gunnar. Gunnar saved Evans’ life when her house caught fire on June 29, 2014. It was a total loss. Since the fire, Evans has been living in a camper trailer on her property.

Evans said, “I could not have done this project of getting a new house without the USDA.”

USDA offers many programs for those that qualify for new homes and repair projects. To find out more, contact Capo at 1601 E. Front St. Ste. A, Port Angeles, WA 98362 or 360-452-8994.
