Explore Central Florida’s housing challenges and the health of homeownership in this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast.
“Nine out of 10 people in Central Florida can’t afford to buy your average-priced single-family home,” according to Catherine Steck McManus, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando and Osceola County. She said it would take building about 90,000 homes tomorrow to help house everyone in need of one in Central Florida.
McManus joins Brad Hillmon, chief operating officer at AdventHealth Orlando, to discuss affordable housing challenges and the health of homeownership.
Listen to this episode to learn about:
· What it takes to own a Habitat for Humanity home, from the application process to receiving the keys
· How Habitat U’s free financial literacy program prepares people to be “home ready”
· How stable housing impacts the health and well-being of families far beyond the walls of its physical structure
“It's a place to heal, a place to maintain health. It's a place to build and maintain relationships. All of these are crucial aspects of life that are made more difficult if you don't have a secure place to live,” Hillmon said.
