Posted on by

Executive Director of Sandhills Habitat, Elizabeth Cox, Manor Care Chaplain Ken Rahal, and new home buyer Victoria Lopez
get together to discuss the profound impact Habitat for Humanity makes on so many lives. Victoria tells her story about the upcoming dedication of her new home and the path that got her to this point. Her six children, ages 7 – 17 join Victoria on this journey. A featured article, written by Deborah Salomon, and photographs by John Gessner, is running in this month’s edition of Pine Straw Magazine. Elizabeth, Ken & Victoria interact in such a way that it’s obvious to anyone who listens that there is a lot of love, commitment and support far beyond the new construction home that Victoria is purchasing. Elizabeth outlines the qualification and application process and clears up some common misperceptions about what Habitat for Humanity is. Victoria’s heartfelt story and journey make it clear that her profound commitment to her family and her sense of ethics will translate to all her children; and her goodness to everyone she knows.

Habitat for Humanity & Family Promise – A Hand Up… not a Hand Out

Posted on by

Habitat for HumanityAffordable housing issues Moore County residents face is the topic of discussion on All Things Moore County hosted by Bill Sahadi on local radio station WEEB 990 AM. Local activists Ken Rahall, Karen Hieronymous, Family Promise Executive Director Susan Bellew, Habitat for Humanity of the NC Sandhills Executive Director Elizabeth Cox and future Habitat homeowner Victoria Lopez talk about the issues of homelessness and lack of affordable housing for most low-income families.
After a divorce, Victoria Lopez, mother of six, found her family homeless and in need of the support and assistance of many agencies for the first time. She discusses the impact of these changes and her family’s desire for a hand-up, not a hand-out.
The show presents programs available for homeless families, those in need of repairs to remain in their homes and those families who would qualify for home ownership through programs like Habitat.
