Security, stability, and empowerment, that’s what this home means to me. I want to show my daughter that we can do hard things and achieve our goals.”
Habitat Families
This is a blessing
“My boys will never worry about having a place to stay. I’m working hard so they have better opportunities — I want them to have better than I have. I will kick down those doors so they can walk through them.”
– Joseph, Veteran + Habitat Homeowner
Our first home together
“We are so thrilled to call this home our own and for our family to grow and thrive in our new space.” – Rachel, Habitat Homeowner
Creating generational wealth
“This home is changing our children’s lives.”

LAURA
Laura is a loving single mom who has built a life around helping others through her work with the Bureau of Disability Services. But, when it came to her own dreams of homeownership, doubt held her back.
For years, the uncertainty of rising rent left her anxious. Each lease renewal brought the same fear: How much more will it cost this time? She longed for stability, for a home where she and her daughter could feel safe, where they could put down roots and build a future.
“Change is difficult for me, but everyone has been so encouraging,” Laura shared. Now, as she works toward becoming a homeowner, she’s embracing that change with a new sense of confidence.
“I want more for my babies. I want them to see that with faith and hard work, we can build something lasting.”
AALIJAH
As a mother of three beautiful girls, Aalijah has prayed for a place where her family could thrive. The first time she applied to Habitat, debt stood in her way, but instead of giving up, she took it as a sign to trust God’s timing. She tackled her finances, leaned into prayer, and when she applied again—she was approved! “Claim your Kingdom!” she declared, knowing this home was more than just walls and a roof; it was a promise fulfilled, made possible by the generosity of supporters like you.
Now, Aalijah is proving to herself and her daughters that anything is possible with faith and perseverance. She will be the first in her family to own a home—breaking barriers and teaching her girls what it means to be good stewards of God’s blessings.
Every family deserves a safe, affordable place to live, learn, work, and play.
This program is amazing for young people to own their own home and learn everything you need to know about homeownership.

“I want to thank God for allowing me to stand here. I see a lot of people my age who do not think about building home until their late 30’s. This program is amazing for young people to own their own home and learn everything you need to know about homeownership. Habitat makes you feel welcome, supported, and encouraged — they give you hope.
When God allows for you to live an abundant life, it’s not just spiritual it’s also financial. That’s what He desires for His people. I thank God for putting me in this position.”
“This home is everything. My girls can’t wait to finally invite their friends over for sleepovers.”
JADEE
As a single mom to four children, a Habitat home to Jadee means safety and security. She shared through tears that being a single parent is hard, but not having a roof over your kids’ heads is harder. Fortunately, Jadee has “a small village” surrounding her that has helped provide a place for her and her girls to stay while she’s working to complete the Habitat Homeownership Program.
Jadee was born and raised in Huntington and has worked at the same organization for 10 years. She is gainfully employed, has a strong work ethic, and loves her family, but Jadee needed an opportunity for affordable housing. Through Habitat GFW and the support of the Huntington community, she is seizing the opportunity to become a sustainable homeowner. “I’m learning about budgets, managing money, and how to be a successful homeowner. I’m tremendously grateful for what everyone is doing for us, thank you.”
