What are some of the benefits of owning a Habitat house?
“The pride of having something that belongs to you and you can do with it as you please without getting approval from a landlord. And if you have kids, it is a piece of you that you can leave to your kids and hopefully they will take care of it and talk about the memories they had in it with you.”
“Knowing that when it is paid off, it is mine. I have something in this world to call my own and knowing that so many people came together to make it possible.”
“It is great to be allowed to live in such a great house at such an affordable price to pay and to be allowed to talk to people about it. I love to show it off.”
“They are new, affordable homes with brand new appliances that are well-insulated and come with no interest loans. We wouldn’t have been able to pay the heat for another winter in our old apartment.”
“My son and I have a place to call home.”
“It is great to have a voice in helping to design the home. It felt like it was really mine.”
“I made a few mistakes financially and ended up bouncing from friend to friend with my two children. Habitat gave me an opportunity to actually build my house. It’s now a sanctuary to my family that I could never imagine not living in. It gave my family its life back.”
