This Holiday Season Build More Than a House – Build a Future!
Building a strong community is like building a home – it starts with a solid foundation.
Meet Erica and Joe, our newest Partner Family. Despite facing challenges like rising rental costs and unfit housing, they’ve worked tirelessly to provide stability for their children. And now, thanks to Habitat Monmouth, they’re creating a home where their kids can grow, thrive, and dream.
Erica shared: “When people used to ask me, ‘Where do you envision yourself down the road?’ I’d say, ‘I don’t know.’ But now I know—this house is our future. It’s stability, it’s their future. This is where my children are going to grow up, and this is our home.”
Your donation doesn’t just build homes – it builds futures. Programs like First-Time Homeowners, Aging in Place, and LIFT Veteran Home Repairs create lasting stability for families like Joe and Erica’s.
