Dominique's Road to Homeownership

Welcome home, Dominique! A lifelong Tulsa resident, Dominique has been working in transit as a driver since 2020. After living in apartments since she was 17, she began searching for a home of her own—but quickly found that many homes on the market were far outside her budget.

“It was really discouraging,” she says. “I started thinking I may not be able to do this.”

Then Dominique remembered volunteering with Habitat for Humanity years earlier with her mom. She decided to revisit the program—and discovered a path to homeownership.

Through Habitat’s Homebuyer Program, Dominique was able to turn her dream into reality.

“I really appreciate Habitat for Humanity,” she says. “They showed me how this program could benefit me—and now here I am.”

Now, Dominique is moving into a brand-new Habitat home. She’s already imagining how she’ll decorate it with calming colors after long workdays and looks forward to hosting family gatherings.

“I’m very family oriented,” she says. “I’m excited to have everyone over.”

For future Habitat homeowners, Dominique offers simple advice: “Stay committed, take the advice given in the classes, and it will all be worth it in the end.”

Congratulations Dominque on purchasing your Habitat home and thank you to MidFirst Bank for providing an affordable mortgage.

The final slabs for Buildings 1 and 2 of Black Wall Street Square are being poured following the completion of underground plumbing. This is a major milestone in the construction phase, signaling the start of vertical construction.

Spring Clean With a Purpose

Spring is around the corner, and with it comes warmer weather, longer days, and an opportunity to support Green Country Habitat. When you’re doing your spring cleaning, don’t throw out those unneeded tools, furniture, or clothes—donate them to one of our four area ReStores.

By donating your gently used items, you’re helping to give them a second life while supporting our mission of helping local families purchase their very one safe, stable, and affordable home.

Drop off your donation at one of our ReStores or schedule a pickup today.

Lunch and Learn Recap

Housing and Health: A Critical Connection

Last month’s Lunch and Learn, Housing and Health: A Critical Connection, explored the impacts safe, stable housing has on mental and physical well-being.

Joined by Dr. Ashley Hildebrand of Ascension St. John Tulsa and GRAND Mental Health’s Kim James, Green Country Habitat President Cameron Walker lead the discussion from the general impacts of housing on mental and physical health outcomes to deeper unseen benefits such as improvements in student success and upward financial mobility.

We want to thank our speakers and attendees for making this Lunch and Learn a success, as well as MidFirst Bank for providing lunch.
