Last week, we dedicated the home of the 2025 Women Build homebuyers, the Dronet family. This ceremony honors the culmination of countless hours of hard work, dedication, and community support, turning the dream of homeownership into a reality for their family. The program, hosted by Habitat STW President and CEO, Terri Gage, was filled with heartfelt speeches that touched the attendees and showcased the community's support. Lead Stakeholder Engagement Advisor, Caitlin Hunter, spoke on behalf of our Visionary Builder sponsor, Chevron. Participants also had the opportunity to take a tour of the newly completed home, witnessing firsthand the impact of their contributions.
We know the benefits of stable, affordable housing and we know that homeownership is the primary way people build generational wealth. We also know that generational wealth and stability contribute to an upward spiral of opportunity, while lack of access creates, at best, stagnation, and at worst, a downward spiral of economic and personal outcomes. Itโs a vicious cycle that we seek to interrupt and reverse.
