For Cecilia Lopez, a single mother from Weslaco, TX, the dream of homeownership was always tied to one thing: creating a stable, safe, and loving home for her kids. She has always dreamed of becoming a homeowner at a young age, having a comfortable home for her children, and finds peace knowing that owning a home provides stability for her kids.

 

Finding Support Through AHSTI
 

When Cecilia began her journey with Affordable Homes of South Texas, Inc. (AHSTI), she wasn’t sure what to expect. But from the very first meeting, she says the experience exceeded her expectations.
 

“It was a really good experience,” Cecilia said. “You guys are very helpful and understanding. If you have questions, you’re always there to help answer them. Any doubts in the process are easily explained, and you’re always available.”
 

Like many first-time buyers, Cecilia faced challenges gathering documents and organizing everything needed for the process. Throughout it all, our AHSTI team worked closely with her, providing helpful resources and connecting her with the right people to make sure every step was completed smoothly and efficiently.

 

A Place to Call Their Own
 

Now, Cecilia and her kids are finally home in Weslaco, settling into their new home in AHSTI’s North Cross subdivision and life has taken a joyful new turn.

“It’s been a really good experience. It’s a big change, but a positive one,” she said.
 

Cecilia describes her new home as a source of peace, stability, and pride. She’s excited to create new memories, watch her kids grow, and celebrate holidays surrounded by family, all within a place she can truly call theirs.

“It feels amazing knowing I have something that’s ours.”
