Ownership Ownership Ownership..ownership empowers lives, communities, schools, children, neighborhoods, creates leaders, depletes crime and increases tax bases…

Our interest free mortgages bar none create an opportunity for families tohave  their dream. Their dream here and across the world…Martin Luther King stated, we have a dream..our dream in Habitat has created us to be the sixth largest builder in the country, fourteenth in the world…

I have witnessed drugs and substandard housing change..i have seen people take pride in neighborhoods that once  had none..its all about creating that opportunity.

Even in Sandy affected areas…how to we recreate green healthy ownership, rebuilding, opportunities so people are not burdened by rebuilds…but proud to have lived in their intergenerational neighborhoods again…Some of the old Sandy affected areas, were run by agencies that make millions, but did not lift any families out of wealth….its not the 1950s, but 2012..our archaic models need to change..its time…May God bless you and yours…
