Home is where the heart is, and soon a Kansas City family will be getting one mortgage-free.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver presented a family of four with keys to a newly rehabilitated home Wednesday, June 29 in Independence. This was made possible by a partnership between the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and Truman Heritage Habitat for Humanity.
"Owning a home shouldn't be a privilege only a few Americans can enjoy," Cleaver said. "Everyone should have the opportunity to affordable housing."
Right now more than 1 million low- to moderate-income families are living in their own home thanks to this program.
