Homeowner Stories
The Kidwell Family
The Kidwell Family has lived on their own since they were teenagers. As “working poor” they often found themselves in unsafe living environments – an unfortunate reality for many low-income families. Their current apartment is in need of major repairs. There are cracks in the walls and gaps in the doors, which have led to expensive utility bills. In an effort to build a brighter future for their growing family, the Kidwell’s decided to apply for housing through Habitat’s homeownership program. The Kidwell’s have always believed in working for what they have, but their dreams of owning a home to raise their family just seemed to be out of reach. They had faith that one day they would have a safer home for their daughter and their second baby girl expected to arrive in May. "We now have a brighter future for our family and a great sense of security raising our children in this new home, and wonderful new city. So we extend our thanks again for giving us this life changing opportunity!"
The Quintero Family
The Quintero Family has held dreams of homeownership for many years. This single mother of three believed she would never be able to afford a home of her own so she applied for county housing as an affordable housing option. While living there she has witnessed incidents of violence and has been the victim of several violent acts herself, including being robbed. The conditions of the apartment also posed a hazard to her family due to things such as insects and rodents to cracks in the ceiling and floor tiles. Her sub-standard living conditions and fear for the safety of her children led her to her partnership with Habitat. Thanks to the partnership between Habitat for Humanity, the City of Chandler, Tri-Lite Builders and the Chandler Law Enforcement Association, she will have a safe environment and stable future for her children.
