Homeowner Stories
Each household that partners with Habitat has a compelling story to share. Many of our homeowners are the first in their families to own a home. Others are refugees from Asia or Africa who have escaped brutal civil wars and in coming to the United States have had to take entry-level jobs because their prior professional credentials were not acknowledged or accepted. And for others, a home allowed them to escape from an inadequately heated rental home, a trailer with collapsed floors, or water/sewage problems that a landlord never addressed. But for all of our households the positive effects of a stable home and an affordable mortgage payment seems to be a stepping stone for both the adults and children to go on and achieve even more both at work and in school.
