DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Habitat for Humanity has provided a fresh start to one family in Vandalia.
The Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton hosted a special house dedication on Friday for Navy veteran Len and his family.
The family of four was previously living in a small, two-bedroom rental. Through Habitat for Humanity's Veterans Build, Len, his wife Alicia and their two kids will get to live in a much more spacious house.
Habitat offers zero percent interest mortgages while requiring potential homeowners to complete homeownership classes and 275 sweat-equity volunteer hours to quality for their new home.
Through it all, Len says the organization went above and beyond to help his family succeed.
'When I look back on everything this program has provided for us, it's totally unbelievable,' said Len, veteran, new homeowner. 'All the things they taught us, all the things that they actually helped us through. They never left our side when we had dark moments, and they supported us all the way.'
Len and Alicia say they discovered the Habitat for Humanity program by chance, and are grateful for the opportunity.
