A Home of their Own

For this family, being part of Habitat has brought stability and a place to call their own. Before moving, they shared a home with a family member and lacked any affordable alternatives. Now, as a Habitat homeowner, she has pride in all she has accomplished and her family has the freedom and opportunity to continue to dream big and reach their goals.

At the dedication ceremony, we also had the opportunity to hear from Marsha Carwile – a family member of the Couch family, who donated the land Habitat developed on Knott Street. This home was the first of nine that Habitat will build here, and we are so grateful for this family’s generosity in helping us build a brighter future for this community of Habitat Homeowners.

This home was sponsored by Marc & Helene Schewel. Additional funding was provided by Central VA Planning District Commission with Virginia Housing and Centra Health.
