Quintasha is the Executive Assistant to the Chief of Police for the City of Austell, for Chief Orrin Scott Hamilton. She was born in Hartwell, GA and raised in Atlanta. Quintasha got custody of her 17-year-old niece, Angel, when she was an infant, after she was placed in the care of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services. She also raised her nephew who was five at the time and is now an adult. Currently, she and Angel live in a home in Austell that is too small for their family and still has a floor furnace which they have to step over while walking through the house.Quintasha is most excited to become a homeowner because she will have a legacy to leave her adopted daughter and be the first in her family to own a home. She always strives to be an active member of her community, starting a neighborhood “Back to School Bash” when she lived in College Park, and now involved in Keep Cobb Beautiful and planning to implement “Adopt a Street” where she lives in Austell. When asked what she would like to say to the Habitat sponsors and volunteers, Quintasha said, "Thank you. You have literally changed our lives, and there's nothing we can do to repay you, but our plan is to continue to volunteer and donate to the work that you do."

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of NW Metro Atlanta
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in nearly 1,400 communities throughout the U.S. and in nearly 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower.
