By Lacey Studnicka, Chief Program Officer

Not every journey to homeownership follows the same map. Recognizing that changed everything for us.

That’s why we created three different pathways.

Whether our homebuyers are buying a Habitat-built home, using our lending program to buy an existing house, or working to strengthen their finances first, our approach is based on partnership. It’s not a handout — it’s a hand up.

Ultimately, we look at all the roadblocks to homeownership, roll up our sleeves, and try to tear them down.

Whether we’re empowering one family with financial education or addressing systemic inequities in housing, our approach remains the same: identify the obstacle, create the solution, clear the path.

Your support makes this work possible. Thank you!

And thank you for believing in the power of homeownership!
