Habitat Success Stories

Penny Family

I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am the oldest of three girls and the middle child of all my mother’s children. I am also the first person in my family to become a homeowner, thanks to New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity. I have three girls, Tyrinika, Tara and Andrell, and one beautiful granddaughter named Shawnae. Living with all girls can be hectic with everyone needing their space. By partnering with New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity, I have had the opportunity to achieve my dream of owning a home. Thank you for everything!
