Habitat for Humanity- our story/ home tour

I am a single mother of 4 who worked sometimes 2 jobs trying to keep a roof over our head. Renting year to year can bring such a sense of instability to a family. Finally becoming a homeowner we are learning how to garden and become self sufficient in so many ways.
I think some people have the misconception that because you are in a habitat home you are poor. The fact is while you may be in a lower income bracket, however if your mindset is to grow and give your children a brighter future, you can ascend out of that bracket.
Each habitat families story is unique so this is just our experience with Habitat for Humanity. This organization has changed our lives and we are forever grateful. If you have any questions about how to donate, volunteer, or get involved call your local chapter.
I encourage you to get involved in someway your life will too be impacted!

Thanks so much for sharing your story! I am in Alabama and they gave us a list of lots to choose from. Were you able to choose yours from a list? My family of five has to do 400 sweat equity hours.

[@littlehomesteadinthehood]

Would love to hear all about it!!!

[@jjjeeesssiiieee]

Love your channel name

[@littlehomesteadinthehood]

Thank you!!!

[@aliciadavis3638]

How did you get them to put an island in the kitchen? Or did you add that later?

[@googleba6874]

I just finished my hours to be put on a list for a lot, how long did it take for the first option?

[@JalissaCarter]

Thank you for sharing this. I just came across your video because I have been dreaming of becoming a homeowner. And I am just waiting on our habitat housing application to open in the fall. I’ll love to msg you to ask you if you think my family and I would qualify based on your experience.

Feel free to reach out to me on IG @thrifty_b_

[@soulfullyroyalnita4446]

Hiiiii lovely home and story for you & your family congratulations so encouraging! 🥰👏🏾May I ask a few questions. After the questionnaire you felt it was only two weeks when they got back to you? Also only if you can answer, I love seeing celebration stories of people showing their homes/cutting the ribbon, is this something that habitat require new home owners to do? Or a person can choose to decline and just be grateful in their own way without news outlets?lastly how soon do they require their down payment?Thanks in advance

[@littlehomesteadinthehood]

Hi there! So no it was a month or so before I heard back from when I turned in my paperwork. We didn’t have a ribbon cutting but had a dedication ceremony where different people spoke and I was presented with a Bible and hammer. Down payments are done at closing. I hope that answers everything!

[@angelwhitfield7719]

@@littlehomesteadinthehoodwas down payment required? If so what percentage or what was the down payment based off of?

[@teresamyers8056]

I purchased my Habitat Home 11 years ago. The down payment was $200.

[@waytousanews]

I badly need a house for me and boys but thete is no guarantee seems like people can be approved...so yes maybe worth trying but ... what people do when they rejected? Can they apply again later ?

[@JulieFlynnStrong]

Looking into applying for a house. I have been diagnosed with stage four cancer and have months to live, not years and husband had a stroke recently and is not working. So, we have three boys and are overwhelmed to say the least and our "need" is that the Landlord wants to move back into his house (the one we rent) so we have 12-18 months until that happens. Ugh any advice would be lovely! Mike & Julie Flynn (Central FL)

[@andreaa2546]

Hi Julie, It saddnes me that you have to deal with this.. May God be with you and your family. If your husband or you go on their website, they have a number to call to figure out the application process. If you have a social worker that is assigned to you through your palliative care, maybe they can figure out resources for a home for your family.

[@kaylatimms4613]

So do they not take into consideration all the kids needing their own room? I have 3 kids so a 4 bedroom would be needed.

[@kirascullark5224]

How many interviews? And why so many?

[@brothertn708]

How much did you pay for your home?

[@Jovonda18]

What State are you in? This the first home I seen that I like. Most look so small 🙄

[@littlehomesteadinthehood]

We are in Georgia. Depending on local zoning rules and sizes of lots will depend on the size of houses in certain counties etc. For our county houses stay around 1500 sqft for a 3 bedroom which is about avg. we didn’t have a very large lot so they had to go up rather than make the house longer or wider as a 1 story.

[@Jovonda18]

Okay cool. They trying to tell me my credit is not to there standing but it’s over 650 so I’m not understanding. Do you recall the credit limit for GA. I’m waiting on a follow up message Monday

[@londonamare]

I thought they went off more like your debt to ratio than your credit score but I might be wrong

[@prettykitty5416]

Hi ok so Can you sell it if you want to move? Can you pass it down to your kids if something happens to you? And can you build a garage or add on to the house? Can you modify the house at all? I feel like there is a catch to having one of these homes. 🤔

[@exposingpedos4017]

you can sell and pass it down to your kids, yes. can’t speak on anything else but it is YOUR home

[@brothertn708]

200 equity hours?! They’re asking me for 700 hours, wTF

[@purityandplants]

We have to do 400.

[@missjayybb]

We have to do 150 per adult

[@armoni546]

Can I email you with questions.. my mom was talking to me about this program
