For Ramon Pleas, the hours he spends volunteering for Habitat Orlando & Osceola are about more than just giving back to his community. They’re about changing lives. 

Ramon said during both his time working with City National Bank of Florida, and his time as volunteer facilitator at our Certified First-time Homebuyer Workshops, he’s seen the difference that homeownership can make to a family. 

“I got involved because I can see families’ lives changing,” he said. “Homeownership is important. Building generational wealth is important. I see what it could do for the single parent, what it can do for the senior, what it can do for the newlywed couple.”
