“This home is everything. My girls can’t wait to finally invite their friends over for sleepovers.”

Serving Huntington Families
This season, we’re building two more homes in Huntington, Indiana for two amazing families in the Habitat Homeownership Program. With the help of the Huntington community, we’re looking forward to what the future will continue to bring as we strive to serve families in need of affordable housing.
Families interested in applying for the Homeownership Program who have lived or worked in Huntington County for at least a year can visit our Become a Homeowner page for more information.
Kelley Family
As a family of five, the Kelley family is thrilled for their new Habitat home — a place with more space for their children and a yard to play in. “I’ve had an amazing support group with our church family, my in-laws, and I just thank everyone for making this possible. This home means more than you’ll ever know,” shared David.
Thank you to every volunteer, donor, and supporter who helped make the Kelleys’ dream of homeownership a reality.
Jadee
Future Homeowner
Meet 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.”
