“The most important thing I hope for… this is going to be a new beginning. I think things will go well for me, truly. My family will have stability,” says Johanna Jose. Learn more about the Jose family, new owners of 54 Clifford Street.

For more than 40 years, Habitat CFC has helped make the dream of homeownership in Coastal Fairfield County attainable for families We build affordable housing and sell homes to families on 30-year mortgages with zero interest. Families contribute “partner equity” by helping build their new homes alongside our committed volunteers in lieu of a down payment.
