Habitat for Humanity has put a single mom and her four kids into their own house.
Jill Smith said she never expected to be able to own her own home, and now she has one - or soon will have. In April, Smith and her children will move from their current abode, a basement, to their own house. Not only is Habitat building the house, it's building it next to the new Otterview Park. The Addison County Independent reports that the raised-ranch, three-bedroom home will give 27-year old Smith and her children, ages 10 and younger, plenty of room to live, play and make memories. Smith said quote -- "It will be a major improvement. There's no way I would have been able to get a loan from a bank without help." She says she's grateful to a friend for letting her family live in the basement, but it's time to move up to their own home.
