Creating a safe & secure home in Monroe County
Partnering with a local family to build hope
We partnered with a local family this past year, creating a safe and secure place for them to live. During their homeownership journey, they faced many challenges before receiving the keys to their newly renovated home. Here is their story.
A family in need of a home
A family of two parents with five children, one of whom uses a wheelchair, lived in an overcrowded apartment. Their unit was in rough shape, not wheelchair accessible, with no usable yard for the children to enjoy, and simply not enough space. The family decided to change the course of their story by partnering with Monroe County Habitat for Humanity.
Monroe County Habitat for Humanity bought a house for the project that required a complete clean out and upgrade, including the removal of an underground fuel tank, a new roof, new windows, and new appliances. Additionally, doorways were widened to accommodate a wheelchair, an ADA approved bathroom was installed, and a donated ramp was put in place for use of the front door.
The parents, along with fifty volunteers, put in over 1,500 hours of work to rehabilitate and transform the house.
After nearly a year of hard work, the family received the keys to their new home in August of 2025. This is now a home they own with the help of a thirty-three-year subsidized mortgage. Their monthly mortgage payment is half the amount of rent they paid for their apartment.
“Owning a home for the first time is like unlocking a door to a world of possibilities, where every room holds the promise of cherished memories and dreams come true. Getting here was no easy task, but we pushed through because we knew there was our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”
