Rahesha

West College Hill | September 2021

This was a great experience to see it from the ground up. Every time I came out to the build site people would take the time to explain everything. It was wonderful. It's great knowing I have a house I can leave to my kids, that we can call home. We can customize it and know that this is home and we worked hard for it.

-Rahesha

Sade

West College Hill | September 2021

"This is so exciting to have a new home for my family to grow together. I one day want to pass this down to my children. I so appreciate everyone."

Tyleah

Evanston | November 2021

"For me, homeownership means changing the narrative- breaking some chains. Breaking the generational curse over my family that says we're only worthy enough to be renters and not homeowners. I'm grateful to God for this opportunity to change some things for my daughters."

-Tyleah

Diana & Kristina

Oxford | December 2021

"It means so much to us to have a home of our own, without any worry about weather conditions."

Claudia & Jon

Oxford | December 2021

"Our ultimate goals for our family are financial stability and security. Our dream is to have a home that will suit our family size and that we can call our forever home. Owning a home will allow us to accept more responsibility for what we want. It will also give us security in not worrying about having to move."

Anthony

West College Hill | January 2022

"I just feel blessed with this opportunity to have this house and give my son a nice environment to be raised in. That's the main reason why I did this. All I can say is thank you."

-Anthony

Sylvester

West End | June 2022

"It's been a long time for me to do this because I had challenges that I had to overcome, but with the encouragement from Habitat staff, I made it through. I have physical challenges, so it takes me longer to do things, but I can do it. I proved that."

-Sylvester

Conrad & Encosma

West End | June 2022

"When I was 14 years old, I would discuss with friends the way we would build our life. While they all said they wanted to buy a car, I told them I want to own a house. Since then, I've been trying to accomplish this goal. I am proud to say that with hard work, patience and God, we did it!"

-Conrad
