Eugenia’s journey with Housatonic Habitat for Humanity began when her former boss, a volunteer with the organization, informed her about the Homeownership program and helped with her application. Previously living in a cramped apartment with her children, Eugenia’s new home provided much-needed space, a backyard, and stability. Habitat’s support was crucial, guiding her through the process and teaching her about home maintenance. The assistance extended beyond the initial acquisition, helping with repairs and ensuring ongoing support, which Eugenia found invaluable.

Owning a Habitat home has significantly impacted Eugenia and her family, offering them a stable environment and a place to create lasting memories. The experience was particularly memorable for Eugenia when she discovered that the house she had admired years earlier was the one she would eventually call home. She advises others to apply for Habitat’s program, emphasizing the ease of the process and the supportive help available throughout.
