Local nonprofits also pitched in by presenting the new homeowners with housewarming gifts to make their transition as smooth as possible. Isn’t that just wonderful?
Pathway to Homeownership

Prospective applicants must demonstrate a need for affordable housing, be ready to invest a minimum of 300 hours in “sweat equity,” and be willing to take on the responsibilities that come with owning a home. This ensures a stable and supportive environment for the future!

Exciting changes are unfolding at Knoxville Habitat for Humanity. Recently appointed as CEO, Anna Engelstad is eager to collaborate with the dedicated team to advance affordable housing in the area. With years of experience under her belt, Engelstad is committed to fostering a stronger community as they continue to develop their newest neighborhood, Ellen’s Glen, and implementation of crucial home repairs.
