Listen in as Dexter expresses his gratitude and call to action for other to follow suit. 

Our Habitat Homeowners go through a comprehensive application process, fulfill sweat equity hours, and complete homeowner courses. The hard work that Habitat Homebuyers put into building their home, and helping others build their home is a very humbling experience that leaves many craving more opportunities to continue with that experience.
