Sept. 17, 2021 - Say Welcome to these three new families and future Home Buyers
At our September 16, 2021 Board of Directors meeting, three new families were approved to purchase a home through our Home Buyer Program. Meet the families for the first time here:
Two of these families will break ground on construction for their home in the spring of 2022 and the third family will break ground on construction of their home in fall of 2022. Our Home Buyer Program is now closed but will reopen in Summer of 2022 for individuals and families looking to buy a home with Habitat in 2023. If you are interested in the Home Buyer Program, call or email Karina Berdyck, our Director of Homeowner Services, so she can add you to our inquiry list to be notified when our application period reopens.
- Khin & Tha are originally from Burma but have been living in the United States for four years now. They have two children and a baby on the way. Tha works full-time at Torginal and Khin stays home with the children. They currently live in a two-bedroom apartment that is too small for their growing family. They are excited to purchase a home and become homeowners through Habitat!
- Brian is a Sheboygan native who recently found out that his rental housing is being sold. He will be buying a house through Habitat for himself and his two, young-adult sons. One of his son's has special needs and will likely live with Brian forever while his other son is currently working at Pet Supplies Plus and thriving at home. Brian works at Kohler and is looking forward to homeownership through Habitat.
- Theresa is originally from Milwaukee but relocated to Sheboygan two years ago. She has two daughters that live with her as well as her mother. Theresa works part-time as a Caregiver for her mother. They currently live in both substandard and unaffordable housing paying well over 40% of their income on rent. Theresa is looking forward to a decent and affordable place to live and own and is thankful to partner with Habitat.
Two of these families will break ground on construction for their home in the spring of 2022 and the third family will break ground on construction of their home in fall of 2022. Our Home Buyer Program is now closed but will reopen in Summer of 2022 for individuals and families looking to buy a home with Habitat in 2023. If you are interested in the Home Buyer Program, call or email Karina Berdyck, our Director of Homeowner Services, so she can add you to our inquiry list to be notified when our application period reopens.
