Brianna Clayton was thrilled when she was accepted into the Habitat homeownership program. She and her 5-year-old daughter, Paisley, are the 800th family to partner with Habitat Pinellas and West Pasco Counties. This March, they will become homeowners in the Lealman community of St. Petersburg.

Brianna Clayton is a bartender at Buffalo Wild Wings, a student at St. Petersburg College, and a single mother. She applied to the program to provide better stability for her daughter.  The family is most looking forward to having their own rooms again, being able to play in the backyard, and cooking meals together again. Brianna and Paisley are excited to make new memories in their safe, happy, and affordable forever home together. “I am building because for years I have been trying to give us a stable, safe place to call home, and this opportunity is giving us our forever home to grow in and build those special lifelong memories.”
