This week, we officially welcomed 20 new Partner Families into the Habitat Homeownership Program! Families received their hard hats, reviewed expectations of the program, and looked forward to what’s to come as they work toward their dream of homeownership.

2023 Habitat Homeowner, Angie echoed Ray’s empowering words and also shared that although there will be times when families may wonder what they’ve gotten themselves into — working full time, sweating on the construction site, volunteering at the ReStore, tightening budgets, attending classes — it is all worth it in the end.

“You will ask yourself throughout the program, is this worth it? Yes. I sit in my house and just look around and think…yes, it was worth it.”

Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, and community supporters who make affordable homeownership possible for each and every Habitat family in our community. Special thanks to IndianaTech for sharing their space with us.
