Shakela Palmer applied to the homeowner program over a year ago. On Friday May 22nd, 2026 is when we handed over the keys to her and her son’s new home in Flint Township.🏡

When we asked Shakela how she felt about the homeownership program she said “I had a real good feeling inside and more privacy, I learned a lot about the homeownership process.”

When speaking with Ms. Palmer she said “There are people who want to help others succeed and Habitat provides that village.”

Please consider a donation today to help families like Shakela’s find strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter by partnering with Genesee County Habitat for Humanity.💙💚

We are excited to share that Consumers Energy is once again offering a generous matching opportunity for all Michigan Habitat for Humanity affiliates matching donations up to $100,000 through the annual Power of Home campaign!

How it works:
Donations are matched 2:1 by Consumers Energy, SEMCO Energy, and UPPCO

💚Your gift helps build homes and fund critical repairs
💚Your generosity is being matched--50% more impact!
💚Every dollar brings local families closer to homeownership!🏡

The full match is typically claimed within the first week, often much sooner.
To maximize impact, we encourage you to give as early as possible.

Giving opens: Tomorrow Tuesday, April 7th at 8:00 AM
