"Turn Back the Block not only enabled me to own a home again, something that I hadn’t done in 20 years, but it also helped build selfesteem and how to take care of something that belongs to me. I participated in the building of it, so this means even more to me. Being able to share what I have, gives others’ hope. Other folks come here and say, well if you can do this, I can do that too. To that I say ‘Well, YES you can!’ It offers them that hand of hope and help."

Thanks to Turn Back the Block for helping me recover my life, save my life, and start a new life. I do that for others now, because the Turn Back the Block family taught me by example.

I am so honored that Turn Back the Block gave me the opportunity to be a successful homeowner. I made a promise to my sons that we would one day own a home and now we are! Thankful for Turn Back the Block for making me a homeowner and our family dreams come true!

Being a homeowner to me means that I never have to worry about my children having a place to stay, because WE have a home of our own.

Spotlight Story

Ladonna Doleman

In July 2020, Turn Back the Block welcomed Ladonna Doleman and her two sons to the Turn Back the Block family. Ladonna worked hard as an applicant for nearly three years before purchasing her 3-bedroom/ 2-bathroom home through the Turn Back the Block program. Ladonna completed over 350 sweat equity hours, attended numerous financial counseling sessions working to repair her credit and create a family budget that set she and her boys on a road of savings. Homeownership for Ladonna means stability and has created economic mobility for she and her family.
