 Views from the Porch May 2022 News Congratulations to our new future homeowners Four lucky families were selected to be future homeowners through a lottery that was held on April 25. Meet out newest future homeowners:
Abdellah, his wife, brother and father will be purchasing the rehabbed historic duplex home in Peabody. They had all previously been living in a cramped apartment with mold and roach issues.
A three-bedroom duplex in Salisbury will be sold to Rossana, a single mother with two daughters and a baby boy who have had to move so many times in the last five years.
In Lawrence, the three bedroom will become home to Ana, her two sons and her partner, all of whom had been living in 600 square feet without heat but with mice.
And in the four bedroom home in Lawrence will be Yenny, a single mother of three who had been living in an apartment with only two bedrooms and in desperate need of repairs.
We are so happy to be able to help these families move toward a more stable future through affordable homeownership. We hope you'll follow along their Habitat journey with us as they will soon begin their sweat equity hours.  Support Ukrainian Refugees Europe is facing this century's largest refugee crisis due to the war in Ukraine. More than 10 million residents of Ukraine have been forced to leave their homes and the security of shelter - most of these refugees are women and children.
Habitat is on the ground in Romania, as well as Poland, Hungary and Slovakia — helping meet the massive shelter needs of displaced families.
Roberto Patrascoiu of Habitat for Humanity Romania says "In the past one and half months...we've been shattered by what we've seen... I almost dissolved into tears."
Because Essex County Habitat has a partnership with Habitat Romania, having sent several volunteer groups there in the past, we feel a strong call to support their work and ask you to join us.
Please watch the video and read about Habitat's emergency response, then give generously to support the Ukrainian refugees now. Be sure to select "Romania" under "My donation is for" on the donation form. Cost of Home Cost of Home is a five-year advocacy campaign through which local Habitat organizations, partners, volunteers and community members in more than 300 communities nationwide are working to increase housing affordability for 10 million people.
