Schaterika Matthews is the latest homeowner to be welcomed to the Habitat Detroit family, and she’s proud to show her young daughter that homeownership is possible. Ms. Matthews joins the growing list of hardworking people who have earned the title of Habitat Detroit homeowner.
The Matthews are the second family to become homeowners through Habitat Detroit this year.
“Becoming a homeowner is remarkable to me because this opportunity offers us generational wealth, certainty, and soundness,” noted Schaterika Matthews. “Any mother would want something to pass on to their child, and this house gives me the ability to do that. My daughter has had the joy of going through this homebuying process with me. It has changed my outlook and perspective on homebuying and real estate. I’m now building wealth and want to obtain the most out of life by being a homeowner.”
Homeownership through Habitat Detroit is a multi-year process that takes a lot of dedication and hard work on the homeowner’s part. Attending financial counseling, homeowner classes, and putting sweat equity into building the home represent some of the steps along the way to becoming official homeowners.
