Woodson Family
In May 2022, Jacondria Woodson and her three children attended what she thought was a final interview in the Habitat Homeownership application process. In reality, we surprised the Woodson Family with the news that they had been accepted into the Habitat Homeownership Program! This surprise groundbreaking was attended by Jacondria’s family and friends and was a joyous beginning to the Woodson Family’s journey to homeownership.
