Homeownership in Las Vegas: Habitat for Humanity’s Generous Contribution
LAS VEGAS — Habitat for Humanity, a renowned organization dedicated to building homes and hope, is making a significant impact in Las Vegas by offering a pathway to affordable homeownership.
Carmen Manriquez, a new homeowner, expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, “The only thing I can say is thank you because you guys gave me a different life.” Carmen received the keys to her new home in the spring and is now celebrating the holidays in her very own space. She recalled, “At that time, in my position, we couldn’t apply for a house, but I had a dream, right?”
That dream became a reality thanks to the transformative power of Habitat for Humanity’s homeownership program.
Angel Phillips, the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, emphasized the profound impact of this program on individuals and families in the community. She shared, “The fact that I can contribute back to our community, giving homeowners the opportunity to really stabilize their life, it impacts their family in so many different ways.” Phillips highlighted the pivotal role of a home as the foundation for everything, enabling homeowners to pursue higher education, provide quality education for their children, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with homeownership.
Habitat for Humanity’s dedication to creating affordable homeownership opportunities is changing lives in Las Vegas, providing a sense of stability, security, and a brighter future for individuals like Carmen Manriquez. As the organization continues to build homes and foster hope, it strengthens the foundation of the Las Vegas community, one family at a time.
