Monica’s family has been proud to stay in their home since 2014, celebrating twelve years of stability, growth, and new beginnings.

After experiencing homelessness, having a permanent place to live created life-changing opportunities for the Jones family. Her son, who has special needs, has been able to grow, progress, and gain the freedom to live his life. Her daughter has had a decent education and is now an author, pursuing her dreams with the security of knowing she has a place to return to.

When asked what first drew her to Habitat for Humanity, Monica reflects on a difficult moment in her life. Facing homelessness, she turned to faith and asked God what to do next. Habitat became the answer, offering not just a house, but a path forward.

She has also gained valuable skills and confidence, learning how to fix and maintain different things around the house.
