A new chapter begins
For Maura, owning a home marks a first for her family. After a five-year journey through housing instability, Maura and her six-year-old daughter, Rory, finally have a place to truly call their own.
As a lifelong Johnson County resident, Maura always dreamed of staying in the community she loves. However, with the skyrocketing costs of the local market, that dream often felt out of reach. Pathway at Heritage Park offered the perfect opportunity. Maura was able to purchase her home for about 250,000, less than half of the average home price in the county.
“There’s no way I would have owned a home in Johnson County or Olathe without Habitat KC,” Maura said.
Beyond providing a home for the present, Maura is focused on leaving a lasting foundation for Rory’s future.
“The most amazing feeling is being able to build generational wealth for my daughter,” she explained. “It feels great knowing she’ll have a foundation to build on.”
