The Kohlmann Family
Kellie and her family were renting a cramped and too small apartment for their family size. And moving frequently due to rent increases.
To fulfill the 250-hour sweat-equity requirement, Kellie began maintaining the vacant lot on which her new home would be built. She also fulfilled hours by taking homeownership classes, credit counseling, and working on her home alongside community volunteers. All that work and commitment resulted in over 300 hours logged with family and friends to achieve homeownership.
The Kohlmann’s are grateful to have a new place to settle and grow as a family. The five-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath Habitat house will be large enough for their family with each child now having their own bedroom and study space.
