Homeownership

We thought you might need one, so we curated a playlist to help you find your way home safely! Here are a few of our favorites from the list: 

Tori Kelly’s “Bring Me Home” 

“God is my lifeline,” says future Habitat homeowner Tabatha. “If He doesn’t tell me to move, I don’t move.” 

Tabatha credits her faith in God for carrying her and keeping her grounded even during her most challenging times. As a mother of three, she is constantly staying busy, making sure all of her children’s needs are met. Tabatha says that the hardest part right now is helping her kids keep up with their virtual learning, especially her youngest son who started kindergarten this year.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a time of uncertainty for us all, and the housing market is certainly not immune. Even prior to the pandemic outbreak, Wake and Johnston county families were spending too much of their income on housing. The lost wages and increased expenses associated with the virus will only exacerbate housing instability, especially for our most vulnerable populations. 

Interested in seeing what a finished Habitat home looks like? Want to learn more about how to apply to become a Habitat homeowner? Join us on Saturday, October 26th in Selma for an open-house event! There will be free food, games and prizes, and our homeownership selection staff will be on site to explain the application process and show you the home. 

We hope you'll join us!

In her words of thanks and remarks, Korishia shared with us the scripture from Jeremiah 9:23-24:

We are pleased to share an opportunity for Habitat homeowners and supporters to learn more about our local bus system!
