Koko & family
What homeowner ship means to them "Homeownership for us is having a private place we can call home & our whole family can stay together." A message to volunteers "I'm seeking affordable housing because it will help me financially in every aspect of my life. I became a partner family with Habitat through a friend's reference. Since then I am glad I made this decision. Due to the consistent increase of my rent payment, I've decided to join the team and create a better opportunity for myself when it comes to housing. I'm not doing this for me but for my entire family and I'm happy doing it. Thank you for your support!" became a partner family May 2023 dedication coming soon |

groundbreaking
Koko worked to earn her sweat equity hours. Sweat equity refers to time spent working on job sites, working at our restore or office, hours spent attending classes to learn about budgeting, use of credit, home maintenance and escrow/insurance. Every adult in the home must earn 250 hours, not easy when working, raising a family, but they are well on their way. Now they can earn sweat equity working on their own home.
