I have known Kim Reed for many years; first as a home builder and then as an advocate for Habitat for Humanity. Kim helped plat and construct Huser Village Subdivision located in Alvin Texas, this is a HFH subdivision.
If you don’t know what Habitat for Humanity is then you must have been living under a rock. HFH is an organization, where low income families can apply to have a HFH home built for them. The approved applicant must help with a number of on-hand construction hours. That person will wait their turn until a home has been completed for them.
This is a successful program that has been in place for many years. I personally think that the TV show “Home Extreme Make Over” came into being because of HFH.
With more involvement Kim decided to move on from HFH and into Builders Without Borders of Texas. Here he would be able to go to other countries and help build homes for needy people who had suffered catastrophes. He would also be able to help students with funds to attend college.

This is where you will find Kim these days. Recently he built a new home in Morgan’s Landing in Alvin and he is selling it to provide college tuition funds for some students that he promised to send to college next semester.
Sunday, I ran into Kim at Bucees’s in Pearland. (See he even know which convenience stores to go to!). I asked him what he was doing in Pearland as that is not his home town and he said he was helping a friend fix up the inside of his home.
That my friends...is Kim Reed; always helping someone that NEEDS some kind of help.
