gvwireWorrying about rats biting you while you sleep in your home is not what anyone would call living the American Dream.
Unfortunately, that scenario is something Matthew Grundy finds all too prevalent in the Fresno community.
Habitat continues striving to eliminate substandard housing and homelessness. Close to 300 families in the greater Fresno area benefit annually from Habitat’s efforts. Grundy and his team work tirelessly to expand that number every year.
Partnering with community members in dire straits to help them realize the benefit of being a homeowner is transformative, Grundy said.
“Owning your own home is something that Americans have sought after from the beginning of time here in this nation,” he said. “It is something that allows you to have your own place, your own spot, something to call your own.”
