Plantation, Florida (February 27, 2026) – Eight families in North Lauderdale have a new home, thanks to Habitat for Humanity of Broward County. What makes it even more special is that they fulfilled their dream of home ownership and took part in building their home with their own hands.

Ten months ago, the land was vacant. But many business owners, including Rita Case of Rick Case Automotive Group, came together to transform the plot of land into a neighborhood of homes.

“Just a year ago, this was just vacant land, and now today we’re celebrating eight duplexes. It’s going to be amazing for this community of eight families to really have their own home,” Case said. “Homeownership is even getting more increasingly difficult. That’s why I am so excited about this Habitat community and others like it. We are making a difference every single year.”

Case, along with new homeowner Portia McKay and her sons, Alfredo and Jayden, and North Lauderdale Mayor Samson Borgelin celebrated the new home Case sponsored.

Habitat for Humanity of Broward County and generous local business partners, like Rita Case and Rick Case Automotive Group, make homeownership a reality and providing that home sweet home.

The City of North Lauderdale also played a major role in making homeownership possible for these families, donating the land and nearly $400,000 for this project.
