In her recent op-ed published in the Orlando Sentinel, Habitat CEO, Penny Seater discusses how rising insurance rates, construction costs, and Central Florida\u2019s limited options for affordable living widens the gap for families striving for stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for areas to thrive, affordable homeownership must be treated as essential community infrastructure. Penny works to lead Habitat Seminole-Apopka\u2019s team in helping to shift this perspective through partnerships with local government, corporate collaboration, and a business model centered on education, sweat equity, and long-term sustainability.

Advocacy, volunteerism, and investment can help ensure more families can live where they work, strengthening our region\u2019s workforce, economy, and future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read Penny&#8217;s full article via Orlando Sentinel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/2026\/01\/29\/commentary-the-next-generation-of-home-ownership-in-a-changing-workforce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aqu\u00ed<\/a> to learn more about the relationship between workforce conditions and affordable housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the current fluctuations in job positions and income, today\u2019s workforce no longer fits the traditional path to homeownership established decades ago.
