A Bright Yellow Door
Nothing is better than getting to celebrate one of our homebuyers and their incredible journeys towards becoming a homeowner! Yesterday, we celebrated Chenise and her daughter Heaven who will be purchasing this adorable home in the Blackwell neighborhood!
A few years ago, the pair created a vision board together displaying their hopes and dreams for the future. One of the dreams at the center of that vision board was to one day own a home with a bright yellow front door. We could not be happier and prouder that their dream is finally coming true!
Chenise found out about Richmond Habitat’s Affordable Homeownership Program when her work volunteered on one of their builds. She took a chance, applied and was accepted.
During their free time, Chenise and Heaven love going to the movies, going to the park, and spending time just talking.
To prepare for her new role as a homeowner Chenise completed her 350 hours of “sweat equity” and 10 financial and homeownership education classes. Now that her house is completed, Chenise will purchase her home and pay an affordable, zero percent interest mortgage, making her dream of homeownership, and that bright yellow front door, a reality.
“Owning my own home will honestly mean the world to me. I will feel like I have the opportunity to show my daughter that she can do something big and anything that she can put her mind to. To be able to say that I will be a homeowner is such a blessing for me and my daughter.” – Chenise, Future Homeowner
