The Reality for
Many Nebraska Families
The landlord just raised the rent again.
Now you’ll have to find time and money to find an affordable place to rent and move and change schools – again.
Then a co-worker tells you about Habitat for Humanity of Omaha. You call and find out the process to own your own home. It’s not easy to invest in yourself. You have to find time to learn how to improve your credit score and start saving more money to put toward the down payment. The next step is for you and your entire family to put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity, building homes in the community. There’s hope.
Next thing you know, you’re in a new neighborhood filled with bright green lawns, the smell of fresh flowers and the sound of laughter. Your family found the stability you always dreamed of. As soon as you’re handed the keys to the house, the kids explore every nook and cranny of it and you take a deep breath, knowing you can focus on building a better future.
Homeownership is a chance to break free from the cycle of poverty that gripped their lives for generations.
Homeownership is key to self-reliance and future success.
