The power of home

Homeownership is powerful. Transformational. Angela, who recently bought her home through Habitat's Advancing Black Homeownership Program, is starting to feel it. Kenisha, who bought her Habitat home in 2012, has seen over a decade of transformation in her family. This is their story—made possible by you.

“When I got my keys and went home for the first time, all I could say was ‘Thank you, God.’ My grandmother is gone, and I lost my mother in 2018, but I still feel them. Their homes were warm. Even when I put away my dishes, I move like them. I think like them. They made me the person I am to this day. I love that. And now I can pass that on to my grandson.”

— Bridgette, Habitat homeowner since June 2024 through Habitat's new Advancing Black Homeownership Program

— Edgar, Habitat homeowner since 2010 who still regularly volunteers through Habitat's new Volunteer and Learn program
