Charae, a 2021 Habitat homebuyer (and now homeowner!), has been waiting for her Habitat home since 2019. Due to setbacks caused by the pandemic, she has had to persevere through a lot of ups and downs, but this year, her home was finally completed. In this conversation with Charae, we discuss what this house means to her family, what the path to homeownership was like along the way, and what she and her kids are most looking forward to about their new home.  Since we recorded this episode, Charae and her family have moved into their finished Habitat home-- just in time for Christmas.  For more information about Habitat's homeownership process, visit rockfordhabitat.org.
