A mother and her daughters are starting a new chapter after receiving the keys to their new home through Habitat for Humanity Corpus Christi on Monday.<\/p>\n
Brianna Platz was officially welcomed into her new home during a home dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Mary Street.<\/p>\n
The home is part of Habitat for Humanity’s effort to expand affordable homeownership opportunities and help families build a stable future.<\/p>\n
For Platz, the moment marked the end of a long journey and the beginning of a new one.<\/p>\n
“It’s very exciting, overwhelming just knowing that I do have a home and I’m able to give that to my kids,” Platz said. “We can’t wait to make lots and lots of memories here.”<\/p>\n
As a single mother, Platz said owning a home provides security and a place her family can truly call their own. “To have a place called home for my kids, it’s very, very exciting,” she said.<\/p>\n
Habitat for Humanity partners with qualifying families to provide affordable homeownership opportunities. Families complete homeowner education courses, contribute volunteer hours, and purchase their homes through an affordable mortgage program.<\/p>\n
Platz encouraged other parents facing challenges to explore programs that may be available to them. “Habitat is a very good program,” she said. “They help you through the whole process. Don’t be afraid to go out there and look for it. There’s a lot of help for single parents. Don’t give up.”<\/p>\n
The home also brings something many families take for granted \u2014 space. For the past year, Platz has shared a room with her daughters while working toward homeownership.<\/p>\n
When asked what she was most excited about in the new house, her answer was simple.<\/p>\n
“My room,” she said with a laugh. “I’ve been sharing a room with the girls for the last year. I’m excited when the girls are in their room.”<\/p>\n
The dedication marks another milestone for Habitat for Humanity Corpus Christi as the organization continues its mission of helping local families achieve the dream of homeownership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mother and her daughters are starting a new chapter after receiving the keys to their new home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[114165,155,157,156,17658],"class_list":["post-318318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-brianna-platz","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news","tag-habitat-for-humanity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
