Meet the Rodriguez Family

A month after her home dedication, Pernella Rodriguez is thankful. What was once considered a pipe dream has become reality. Through hard work on her end, along with the support of Habitat Detroit volunteers and staff, Pernella is now a first-time homeowner!

Pernella shared: “I want to stand next to those who helped make this dream more than just a fantasy, more than just a wish, and the realization that it is possible to obtain. I want to grasp the safety, security, and a sense of belonging in my neighborhood and community.”

During her homeownership journey, Pernella often looked to others further along in the process for inspiration. But with her successful home closing last month, the tables have turned and she’s now the one inspiring others! To Pernella and the whole Rodriguez family, welcome home!
