more than just a house Creating Community The shared experience of building their home with Habitat fostered a sense of community for Naomi, Rena, Le’Asia, and Brianna who met at their first homebuyer meeting. They immediately developed a support network, often working on each other’s’ homes. Soon they will be neighbors as they grow into their homes and their new community. Help Foster More Community “Because of the donors, because somebody decided they had enough time on a Saturday morning, my kids will have their forever home.” Meet Le'Asia Le'Asia is a disabled veteran with a background in HR. But throughout her time in the military and with her own personal experiences, she was inspired to pursue healthcare. She finishes up her program soon at a local college of nursing. Le'Asia has two children: Mason and Madison. Mason is 9 years old and enjoys sports and learning. He was recently accepted into the Gifted Program at school. Madison is 6 years old and enjoys playing princesses. "We love being together, having movie nights, doing crafts, and finding an adventure," says Le'Asia. She's most looking forward to making memories in their new home. "I absolutely cannot wait to create memories in our home," she says. "From cooking in our kitchen to projects at our table and the creative expression that comes with homeownership." Because of Habitat, I was able to go back to nursing school and feel confident to not have to worry about the market of rent. Donate Now Meet Bri Brianna "Bri" Suggs works at a school in Bond Hill. She has one daughter named Amina. "I am a mom who enjoys exploring new places and learning new things," says Bri. "Amina is very interested in exploring new things as well and she has lots of energy." They love listening to music, dancing, reading, and trying tasty foods. Bri is currently enrolled at the University of Dayton pursuing her doctorate in Educational Leadership. "My [current] living situation is cramped as we are living in a one-bedroom apartment," says Bri. "Additionally, affordability is significantly important to me as I am paying for school out of pocket and a single mother providing sole care of my daughter." Bri says that her home will be a place of security, happiness, memories, and love. This will be a chance for her to create generational wealth and financial opportunities. "I want to take part in establishing my own home and the community I will be living in,” says Bri. Being able to donate your time, donate finances, really is transformative for the communities that we live in and for the generations to come. Help More Families Meet Rena Rena has been a STNA nurse aide for 19 years. "I love what I do, it works well for my kids, and I never get tired of it!" She has 3 kids and describes her family as "outdoor people." They love to visit the Banks in Downtown Cincinnati and see the ducks at Eden Park. "We're a pretty close-knit family," she says. This is going to be a fresh start for Rena and her family. "I'm very blessed. I'm a very Godly person. God does things for a reason," says Rena. "It's been kind of rough." The last place they were renting was sold by their landlord. They finally found a new apartment but, like many Cincinnatians, are paying a super high rent. Rena is excited about having more space. They currently live in a 2-bedroom apartment, and Rena's mom also lives with them. She can't wait for them to each have their own space. "They're all going to have their own rooms. [I'm excited for them] to decide how they want to decorate." "I've always wanted to buy my own home," says Rena. "God put me here. I was very excited to get the call. I was teary-eyed. I'm just blessed to have this opportunity." I want to be a role model to other people who have been through what I've been through. Change a Life Meet Naomi She currently works at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She has a one-year-old daughter named Bailey, who enjoys singing and dancing. "Growing up my family was extremely close," says Naomi. "[We] would get together at least weekly for various events. I am hoping to build similar family traditions with my daughter and stress the importance of love." Naomi attended Xavier University and received a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration with a minor in business. After graduation she attended an online AAPC course and is now a Certified Professional Coder. She was attending Xavier's MBA program but took a break due to pregnancy. She is looking forward to going back once she and Bailey have more stability. "My living situation has been fairly stressful and overwhelming due to overcrowding and lack of control," says Naomi. They currently live with Naomi's mother, who Naomi has a great relationship with, but she is ready to branch out and get her own space. Her brother and his six children also live in the house, so it can get crowded and hectic. Naomi needs a space of peace for when she works from home. "Prior to applying for Habitat, I had been house searching for over a year; however, the market was bad and only getting worse as time went on," Naomi says. "Any house within my budget would have been a fixer-upper and in no condition to bring a newborn baby into. I literally had door after door closed on me & it was not looking too bright. Looking back, I am extremely grateful for the closed doors because it led me to this moment and is setting my family up for unimaginable success!" Looking back, I am extremely grateful for the closed doors because it led me to this moment and is setting my family up for unimaginable success. Make a Gift YOU can make a difference. Today. Because of donors and volunteers like you , first-time homeowners have a community of support as they take on this great responsibility. These women found something pretty fantastic through their experience with Habitat: a sisterhood. Because someone like you gave their time or resources and believed in the power of homeownership, these four women and their families have a forever place to live. They also have a forever bond. You can be that someone for another family by making a gift today. Thank you for believing in families, in legacy, and the beauty of new beginnings. Support Homeownership "You really build relationships as well as houses. And you build communities." Make a gift. Create communities. Change lives. Donate Now

partnerships faith in action Founded on a mission to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity offers faith groups a powerful way to put their faith into action by building homes, communities, and hope. For over three decades, churches and faith groups of any denomination have given generously, offered prayers and volunteers. Financial Donations Other Ways to Give Corporate Partnership Volunteer rooted in faith Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati began with a calling to put faith into action. Inspired by the national Habitat for Humanity movement, a group of local Christians founded the grassroots organization in Cincinnati in 1986. The early Cincinnati Habitat was entirely volunteer run as an outreach program of several churches. As Habitat gained momentum across the country, more churches felt called to join the mission. In Greater Cincinnati, church congregations joined together to form coalitions. These coalitions sponsor and build homes from the ground up. They get to know partner families and celebrate the homes with dedication celebrations. While we are rooted in the Christian tradition, we welcome groups of any faith and spiritual tradition. For over three decades, faith communities and faith-based organizations have made an incredible impact in our region, funding and building hundreds of homes. Habitat Beginnings volunteer pray faith coalitions together we can do more It can be challenging for one congregation to sponsor and complete a Habitat home on their own. However, when several congregations come together, they can make a significant impact on the lack of affordable housing by building homes in partnership with hardworking families. It’s through the process of working side-by-side that we realize we are far more alike than we are different and true community is formed.

Habitat homebuyer Tyleah told the unique story of building her home. In order to stabilize the foundation, we had to bring in 10ft of crushed rock. Since receiving the news, Tyleah said, "I've been singing the hymn, On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand." Tyleah's home in Evanston was built with generous support from Shalom Coalition.
