Recent data showing that many Americans are now buying their first home around age 40 highlights the region’s growing housing challenges, says Jason Tickle of Central Rappahannock River Habitat for Humanity. He notes that while the shift reflects real affordability pressures, there are programs available that can help families move toward stable homeownership.
Tickle also explains the many ways community members can get involved—whether volunteering on a build site, helping with office support, or contributing financially to meet rising needs. More information is available at crrhfh.org.
