$5 million gift will help bring affordable homeownership to one of the most unaffordable counties
“The promise of hope that this holds is really life-changing,” said Lisa Lefkow, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Collier County.
Life-changing help made possible by the Collier County Habitat as they build 109 new single-family homes in south Naples.
With the help of one Naples family, they are working to bring the American dream of homeownership to Southwest Florida.
“Sometimes folks are paying better than 50, 60, sometimes up to 70% of their household income, just for their housing expense,” said Lefkow. “So coming to this moment where we’re adding new homes and making those available for hard-working families is really critical.”
However, it hasn’t come without setbacks for this nonprofit.
