Meet our featured Women Build homeowner: Mary

Mary is working alongside teams of volunteers to build her home in our Silver Pines Pointe community as part of Women Build 2022, an annual fundraiser and movement of women building, investing, and advocating for quality, affordable housing in their community.

Knowing that women are helping to build her home gives her goosebumps. “My hat is off to this group of women,” she said. “They are a part of such a worthy cause, one that is bigger than I could ever imagine.”

Monthly Milestone: 2020

As we look back on 35 years of milestones, here's a flashback to 2020, when we completed Arbor Bend, our 34-home community in Apopka! We then started work on our nearby Juniper Bend community, which will be made up of 24 homes. Ten of those homes will be built by Habitat Orlando & Osceola.

When you create your will, you can secure the future for yourself, your loved ones, and the causes important to you. Nearly 70% of Americans do not have an up-to-date will, missing out on the opportunity to take care of all that they love.
