Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties

Meet Morghan, a proud homeowner in Journey Together! As a single woman in her 20s, she has already experienced the joys of homeownership. “Homeownership has been amazing these past couple of months,” Morghan said. “I’m able to have a space that I call home, look forward to raising a family here, and have that sense of pride and accomplishment after all that hard work to get where I am.” Morghan's journey to homeownership consisted of meeting with a Habitat housing counselor, completing 300 hours of sweat equity, attending 20 hours of Habitat homeowner workshops, and paying $2,000 toward closing costs. We look forward to seeing Morghan’s future unfold in this wonderful community! 🏘 Do you know anyone who might be interested in living in Journey Together?

As a single mother, she not only raises her son but also her adopted niece. Join us in celebrating this incredible milestone of Aracelis and her family, pictured both at her wall raising and then at her home dedication! 🏠💙

Deyanila immigrated to Southwest Florida from Cuba seven years ago and now calls Cape Coral her new home. As a single mother for three years, she felt discouraged when her attempts to qualify for a conventional home loan yielded no results. However, Habitat gave her hope. After years of housing insecurity, such as worrying about rent increases, Deyanila's daughter and teenage son now have their own bedrooms in their new Habitat home. Congratulations to Deyanila and her family on their new beginning! 👩👧👦🏠

Facing skyrocketing costs to buy and rent in Southwest Florida, Sean and Erin's dream of homeownership seemed unreachable. They moved in with family and waited out the market, but it wasn't until partnering with Habitat that hope became a reality. The couple met regularly with a housing counselor, completed 300 hours of sweat equity, attended more than 20 hours of homeownership education classes, and paid $2,000 toward closing costs. Sean and Erin celebrated their home dedication in May and officially closed on their home on July 23, just after welcoming their newborn. Join us in congratulating Sean and Erin's growing family in their new Habitat home! 💚
