CURRENT HOME PROJECTS
Lidia Circle
Community Rebuilds finished 28 homes with the Moab Area Community Land Trust (MACLT) in the Spring of 2025! We have moved on to build at a small subdevelopment in Spanish Valley, just over the San Juan County line. We're excited to build four single family homes for low income families, continuing to emphasize a sustainable education for our students and long term affordability through energy efficient design for our homeowners.
Joshua Schultz
Summer 2025
My name is Josh and I have been in and out of Moab since 2012. I like running and biking. I am a teacher, an EMT, and I am on the Grand County search and rescue team. I am grateful to have the opportunity to make Moab my home.
Brook Indries
Summer 2025
Brook has been wanting to build and live in a strawbale since she first learned about them and cob houses in 2007. Since then, she’s helped build a load bearing strawbale barn, a strawbale dance hall and a two story strawbale home. Brook is incredibly thrilled to finally build her own with Community Rebuilds and continue her passions of developing habitat gardens, regenerative beekeeping and growing nutrient dense food in her own backyard.
Evan Smiley
Summer 2025
I moved to Moab in 2017 for just one season with CFI and never left. A tale as old as time. They tell me I get to call myself a local after 10 years. We'll see about that. I'm a forest lover and mountain wanderer who is happily stuck in the desert. How could I leave this place?
Seasonal life paved the way for stability and a full time job with the County Trails Department, running the trail crew on all of our non-motorized trails. On the side, I run Moab Community Cycles, providing affordable bikes and maintenance to the people of Moab. The community is really what has kept me here all these years, and the primary reason I am happily sinking my roots in deeper. Though, the multiple lifetimes worth of exploration and recreational opportunities are a nice cherry on top.
My favorite parts about Moab are the smells of spring (Cliffrose and Mahonia of course), the never-ending guessing game of "why is that rock like that?", increasing my lifetime arch count, the silly bike community, being inspired by all the creative and passionate folk, and finding solitude amongst the slickrock and junipers. I feel so grateful to have a home of my own to rest my head between adventures, big and small.
Jeremiah Ford
Summer 2025
Hello, my name is Jeremiah Ford. I was born in Provo, UT and have lived in Texas, Washington and Colorado. I’ve made Moab my home first in 1995 but have rented and lived here solid since 2002. I’m glad to have worked hard to get this far and can’t wait to help build all 4 homes. I’m also grateful for having my own home in this project! This will be a great accomplishment for me.
