Kara came to Clinch-Powell with a dream—to buy a home for herself and her two boys. Through our 523 Self-Help Housing Program, that dream is becoming a reality.

She’s painted, redone the floors, and replaced appliances—all while gaining the pride of building something lasting for her family.

When asked how it felt to see her home come together, Kara shared, “It felt great—especially because it wasn’t coming out of my pocket.”

With every improvement, Kara isn’t just creating a home—she’s building stability, confidence, and a better future.
