On May 2nd, CCHFH had the pleasure of breaking ground on two homes for the Allen and Davis families-- marking the exciting launch of our inaugural Women Build initiative to empower women to not only donate to our mission to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing, but to actively build homes alongside the families. The groundbreaking ceremony was a beautiful display of community spirit and a palpable reminder of our commitment to building a brighter future. Joined by their family and friends, both families expressed their gratitude for making their dream a reality. TaZsaya Allen, one of the two partner families who was approved as a recipient a Women Build home, stated, "I'm thankful for this program and how it will break generational curses that will change my life and my children's lives for generations to come", which is a testament to the longstanding impact affordable housing has on not just communities, but the lives of community members. For the Allen and Davis families, this groundbreaking ceremony was not just about turning over dirt; it was a tangible symbol of hope. It signified the start of a new chapter in their lives, a chapter filled with stability, security, and the joy of homeownership. Even though the groundbreaking over, the work is just beginning. Over the next few months, volunteers and sponsors will be hard at work hammering, painting, and so much more to change the lives of these families for generations to come. Together, let's build not just houses, but hope for the Allen and Davis families, and for our entire community!
