Family Focus: The Mung-Niang Family
For almost four years, Mathias Mung and Lun Niang have lived in a two-bedroom apartment with their young son and daughter. Mathias works as a custodian to provide financial stability for the family, while Lun is a stay-at-home mother. Their current apartment is an unhealthy environment for small children and Mathias and Lun worry that the lack adequate housing will negatively affect their children in the future.
Family Bios: The Haji-Mohamed Family
Fatma Haji-Mohamed and Abukar Mohamed have a daughter, 7, and a son, 3. This March, the family welcomed their third child, a daughter, into the world. They have lived in subsidized housing for over four years. It is a two-bedroom apartment which is now too small for their family. Abukar has worked as a parking attendant manager for that amount of time, and Fatma now has a part-time job as a janitorial service franchisee. They feel their dreams are about to come true as they look forward to a safe neighborhood and a stable home for their children. These Somali-American parents think that applying for a Habitat house is the best decision they have ever made as a family.
