Meet our Home for the Holidays 2022 Homeowner: Ebony

Ebony has lived in the same condominium for the last 10 years.

She was used to her rent increasing by $25 or $50 every year. She didn’t bat an eye.

But this past year, she got a renewal notice that showed a $400 hike — a 33% increase. That was the moment she decided to get serious about becoming a homeowner.

“I looked into homeownership for the stability because when you’re renting, they can just increase it how they want to, when they want to,” she said.

2021: Shuprina

Throughout Shuprina’s homeownership journey, her three children have watched her overcome obstacles and make many sacrifices. She hopes that it has shown her children that anything is possible.

“You can do it … if you want a home, you can get the home through hard work and sacrifice,” she said.
