Determined to change her family’s cramped living conditions, Quarlisa, who works at a local jail, embarked on a journey toward homeownership with Habitat Orlando & Osceola.

She will purchase the home that Park Square Homes and their dedicated partners built during Builders Blitz 2025 and have an affordable mortgage — giving her family the space and stability they need to thrive.

"My vision for the future is to enjoy the rest of my life watching my children really grow and be happy with what they accomplish. This home will help me create it," she said. 

Quarlisa’s journey is a testament to perseverance, and we can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with her! 💙✨

We’re thrilled to welcome eight incredible community leaders to the Habitat Orlando & Osceola Board of Directors!

With their dedication and vision, we’re strengthening our impact and advancing affordable housing solutions for families in need.

Join us in celebrating the Board Class of 2025—we’re excited for what’s ahead!
