  • Future homeowner D is a Project Utility Manager at the Cobb County Department of Transportation, helping to ensure the county’s residents enjoy quality infrastructure. Despite steady work and overtime in a career he enjoys, D and his wife Dreika can’t find decent, affordable housing in the county he serves. Instead, they rent a small townhome just outside of Cobb, where they battle with crowding and substandard conditions.

    D & Dreika are raising a unique blended family with children ranging in age from 26- to 1-year-old, with four living at home: 22-year-old DeNecia, 15-year-old DeKeria, 2-year-old D, and 1-year-old Daniel. Dreika keeps an immaculate home, but her efforts can’t hide the deferred maintenance of the unit – significant water damage, leaky plumbing, and a basement that’s always flooded. With safety concerns in the neighborhood, the family’s dynamic and playful energy is cramped in their small space.

    D & Dreika felt like they won a prize when they were selected to build a home with Habitat and are looking forward to watching their kids run and play in the yard of their future home. For their family, homeownership is more than walls and a roof, it’s the promise of stability, safety, and cherished memories.

Building Homes. Changing Lives.
Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta

Since 1986, Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta has helped families in Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties achieve the dream of homeownership. What started as a small group inspired by the global Habitat mission has grown into a movement—powered by people like you.

Through your support, we’ve built hundreds of homes and empowered families with stability, pride, and a place to call their own. Our model works: future homeowners help build their homes, purchase them with affordable mortgages, and create lasting change for generations to come.

As the need for affordable housing grows, so does our determination to meet it—with your help.

Thank you for being part of our story.
Together, we’re creating stronger communities—one home at a time.
