Alcides has always believed in the power of a stable home—both in his career as a construction project manager and as a dedicated Habitat Orlando & Osceola volunteer. After years of helping others build their homes, his own goal became a reality through our homeownership program. Now, he and his young daughter have an affordable place to grow and thrive. 🏠💙

More than two dozen teenagers attended our Youth Summit on March 15, where they learned the basics of financial literacy and the value of community engagement as well as critical disaster preparedness information thanks to a partnership with State Farm.

The free event was Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s third Youth Summit, which is taught by Habitat Orlando & Osceola staff as well as expert community partners. The five-hour seminars have now educated more than 120 high students between the ages of 14 and 19 on everything from how to balance a budget to how local, state and federal governments function. 

We extend our gratitude to Travelers for their generous donation and ongoing commitment to our mission. In addition to their financial support, Travelers employees regularly volunteer on our build sites, contributing their time and effort to help create safe, affordable homes for local families.

Their dedication and hands-on involvement make a meaningful impact, strengthening the community and making homeownership a reality for our homeowners. We deeply appreciate this partnership and the positive change it brings to our community.

🌱💰 Take a moment to reflect on your relationship with money—how has your upbringing shaped your financial habits? Breaking negative cycles starts with awareness.

In doing so, you may realize how much your upbringing influences the way you perceive and value money. Our childhood experiences greatly impact our adult behaviors, including our approach to finances.

Exploring our personal feelings about money is critical to achieving financial literacy.
