A big project exists to be able to paint the housing authority. I am blessed to know many people where thousands live with hope..only rentals had they been ownershiop familes equity would have been unbelievable..and kids in college and kids moving ahead

We looked at our COLLEGE HONOR ROLL. Where we now have many college graduates now out of our Habitat homes. Thanks again to the Lanza family foundation who is backing our students with scholarship monies again, backing them to be able to make it , to be able to succeed, to be able to move ahead!

What a great opportunity it is…to be able to see these kids move ahead….no question.
