Dwayne Spencer shares his personal journey and how Memphis Habitat works to make housing affordable and accessible.

On his first day as a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, sometime in the mid-1980s, Cliff Popejoy, an air quality scientist, decided to give the electricians a hand. Although seemingly simple at the time, that decision would go on to change the trajectory of Cliff’s life in ways he couldn’t have imagined. 

“Taking a shower and having proper handrails in the tub. The handrail in the hallway for helping us steady ourselves,” Bryant says. “They’re little things, but they’re game-changers when you get older.”

Lisa is the second resident to move into Female Veterans Village, a community that will provide a safe space for women veterans to overcome housing instability and where residents can develop a support system amongst fellow service members.

Jessie hoped the home she’s lived most of her life would be a place her family could enjoy and pass down to future generations. That’s why she worked alongside Habitat for Humanity of York County, with support from Wells Fargo Builds, to help her make her home a safe place to live.

Throughout the month of April, Habitat’s cause marketing partners are providing financial support, product promotions and their voices in support of Home is the Key. Habitat encourages using #HomeIsTheKey on social media and visiting habitat.org/homeisthekey to learn more.

This year, we celebrate 25 years of Habitat for Humanity ReStores. That’s 25 years of helping more families build decent, affordable homes in your community and around the world.
