FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – Habitat for Humanity hosted a special home dedication ceremony for several families in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n
Four families received the keys to their new homes on Saturday morning in the Northwest 27th Terrace area.<\/p>\n
The ceremony also celebrated Habitat Broward and JM Family Enterprises\u2019 25-year partnership and their work in building over 50 homes together.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been involved for over 20 years, giving back to the community through Habitat, and it\u2019s good for our associates who put a lot of time into building these homes to come out and celebrate with these owners today,\u201d said Cassey Gunnel Jr., Executive Leadership at JM Family.<\/p>\n
Habitat for Humanity Chairman Robert Taylor said homeownership is an amazing transformation in someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing that makes Habitat so powerful is that everything is earned, and when you do see those people earn their first home and purchase their first home and know they\u2019re going into their first home, it\u2019s an amazing transformation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
One recipient of the home said they were very happy to be a homeowner.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a dream come true to own this place, to finally have our own home. [It] is priceless,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
Organizers said this long-time project serves to expand access to affordable housing and strengthen local communities.<\/p>\n
