June is National Homeownership Month 🏡
For many people, homeownership is more than having a place to live. It’s stability. It’s security. It’s knowing that the place you call home belongs to you.
At Hicoria Pines Homes, we’ve seen firsthand how homeownership can change lives. We’ve watched families move from uncertainty to stability, homeowners personalize spaces that reflect who they are, and community members achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.
That’s why we do what we do.
This month, we’re celebrating the homeowners, future homeowners, volunteers, partners, and supporters who help make these stories possible.
Because every home tells a story, and every homeowner deserves the opportunity to build one.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that becoming a homeowner has to be confusing or out of reach.
While every journey looks a little different, the process is often more straightforward than people expect.

Everyone sees the finished home. Most people never see everything that happens before someone gets there.
The meetings. The paperwork. The questions. The obstacles that make people wonder if homeownership is even possible for them.
Not every homeowner’s journey starts with perfect credit, perfect timing, or every box already checked.
At Hicoria Pines Homes, we know life doesn’t always happen in the perfect order. When challenges come up, our goal isn’t to immediately say no. It’s to ask: “How can we help you move forward?”
Whether someone is concerned about credit, saving for upfront costs, or simply doesn’t know where to begin, we work alongside them to help them understand their options and next steps. Because homeownership is more than getting the keys. It’s the process that gets you there. Think homeownership may be out of reach?

Progress is happening at Miranda’s future home 🏡✨
This week brought a few exciting updates. Interior painting is almost complete, her driveway has officially been shaped out, and cabinets are nearly finished being installed.
It’s exciting seeing the details come together because these are the moments that make it feel real. Each completed step means Miranda is getting closer to walking through the door of a place she’ll soon call home.
We’re looking forward to sharing more milestones as construction continues.

People like Mildred are exactly why Hicoria Pines Homes exist.
Before the dedication for her new home, she was dealing with a fire and a demolition notice. The house was gone, and she was left trying to figure out what to do next. She didn’t need a program. She needed someone to step in and actually help.

Dean went to the meetings with the City of Sebring and Mayor John Schoop himself. He didn’t
pass it off or send her on her own. He sat in those rooms, worked through the situation, and
pushed to get the path cleared so she could move forward.

That’s what this looked like. Then when it came time to rebuild, we stayed right there with her. Not just pointing her to a loan or handing her paperwork, but sitting down and going through it together, step by step. Because
we know how overwhelming it can be to try to do this alone.

That’s the difference.
We don’t just help from a distance. We’re in it with you every step of the way.

The USDA State Director for Florida and the Virgin Islands traveled to Sebring for Ms. Mildred.

That tells you something.

Miss Mildred’s path to homeownership ran through two USDA programs — and HP Homes helped her navigate both. The 502 Direct Loan is what made her new home possible: no down payment, fixed subsidized interest rate, built for a family who deserves stability and has earned it. The 504 program covered tree removal and aging-in-place modifications — the details that make a house safe, accessible, and truly hers for the long term.

When the State Director handed Miss Mildred her key, it wasn’t just a ceremony. It was confirmation that the system can work — when someone is in your corner who knows how to work it.

That’s what HP Homes does. We walk you through every form, every program, every step — so you’re not figuring it out alone.

If you’re a low to very low income household in Hardee, Polk, or Highlands County, you may qualify. Income up to $61,000 per year. No down payment required.

Miss Mildred’s housewarming was something else.

Not because of who was in the room — though her family, friends, city commissioners, the USDA, and the mayor of Sebring were all there. But because of what it meant for a woman who lost her home to fire, faced a demolition order, and still never let go of what she was taught growing up: have your own.

She stood before every one of them and shared her journey. Then she walked inside and showed them her home — every corner she helped design, every detail she chose for herself.

That moment belongs to her.

And if you’ve ever lost a home, or just never had your own — your moment is possible too. HP Homes walks you through every single step, from your first conversation to your keys.

Mildred prayed for a makeover for her home, and she got exactly what she prayed for and more. Her previous home was demolished due to a fire, giving her a chance to start anew. In her newly built home, she was able to design it to her liking while we at Hicoria Pines Homes also included Aging-In-Place features. This home is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, with flooring, tile, and cabinets that Ms. Mildred handpicked herself. While keeping Mildred’s exquisite taste in mind, we at Hicoria added features like motion-sensor lights, wider doors and hallways, and a walk-in “beach-style” shower.
If you or someone you know is interested in our Aging-In-Place features or learning more about how Hicoria Pines Homes can help you, DM us HOME to start more today.
