A Sheboygan family became homeowners last week after a long journey, lots of work – and help. The home is the 48th one made available by Habitat for Humanity Lakeside, a member of the global nonprofit housing organization that constructs, rehabs and preserves homes.
The Tin-Aye family received the keys to their South 9th Street home last Tuesday, but nothing was just “handed to them”; the family had to complete more than 500 “sweat equity” hours by working to build their home alongside their habitat co-workers after coming to the U.S. as refugees. They were looking for a safe place to call home, and now the family of five has just that…along with an affordable mortgage.
