A Teacher’s Dream Made Possible

Originally from Jamaica, Shelly came to Tulsa with Teach for America in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the community. As a 4th grade English Language Arts teacher, she’s been shaping young minds—and now, she’s building a future of her own.

To her, home means stability, peace of mind, and a place to relax. She’s most excited about her backyard, where she’s ready to give gardening a try!

Her advice to others?

“I’ve already recommended this program to many of my friends. The economy is unpredictable, and homeownership can feel out of reach, but Green Country Habitat truly helps make the dream possible. The down payment assistance is top tier!”

Special thanks to Gateway Mortgage for providing her affordable mortgage.

Habitat believes that everyone deserves a place to call home. Apply or share our home purchasing opportunity with others:
