The Randolph’s Receive Keys!

The Randolph’s Receive Keys!
 

The Randolph family recently received the keys to their Habitat home and got a first look at their newly finished home. Located in the City of Jurupa Valley,  which has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a backyard landscaped for low water and energy consumption. It’s very obvious Tywannh Randolph and her family is loved and supported by her church, friends and family.  There was quite a crowd on her driveway, waiting anxiously to see Tywannh receive the keys to her new Habitat home.

Tywannh is a single mother of three who has worked as a Physical Therapist Aide for the past six years. The family of 4 lived in an upstairs downstairs, 2 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment in a rough neighborhood. Tywannh wanted to move her family into a larger apartment, but with a 3 bedroom apartment costing around $1,200 per month, there was no way to afford it. At the apartment, there’s a lot of foot traffic at night and there have been shootings. When the family wants to spend time together on the weekends, Tywannh takes the family to away from the neighborhood to parks, movies, and church.  When they leave, the family leaves for 15 hours a day. And when they are home, they stay indoors.

Tywannh Randolph was able to afford her home purchase through Habitat Riverside because of the Economic Development Agency’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program.  This program funded the purchase of 17 bank-owned, foreclosed homes in Rubidoux with the intent to rehabilitate the home and sell them to very low income families with a 0% interest mortgage.
