This family is excited to celebrate the dedication of their new home. They are thrilled to have a home of their own where their young sons can have the freedom to run and play without having to worry about disturbing the neighbors in their apartment complex.

Habitat Dedicates Home in Leesburg
This new home provides independence and stability this family has been searching for. Struggling to find affordable housing, this family had been renting an apartment outside of Loudoun County. While their rent was affordable, the annual increases were pricing them out of their apartment. There was also the issue of high commuting costs.
They will have a more stable life now. Owning an affordable home provides a permanent place to plan for the future. They can put down roots in the community where they work and their children go to school.
