Greg introduced our speaker Jessie Rowe, Habitat For Humanity Home Ownership Counseling Manager.. Habitat for Humanity builds strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. Decent shelter is something we all need to thrive. To address the need for decent shelter in our area, Habitat Omaha works in many ways: building and renovating homes, repairing existing houses, taking down blighted structures, advocating for better laws and systems, and more. We work with families to help them acquire the access, skills and financial education necessary for them to be successful homeowners. By partnering with us, families seize the opportunity and possibility that quality, affordable housing represents. There are lot's of volunteer opportunities on their website.
