Peter Kaye speaks with Sabrina Lippman of Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County about the life-changing impact of homeownership. Lippman highlights the growing struggles of working families striving for stability as NYC faces its lowest vacancy rate since the 1960s. She breaks down Habitat’s unique homeownership model, emphasizing the role of “sweat equity,” where future homeowners can help build their homes alongside volunteers. Lippman also spotlights the Yonkers ReStore, a creative initiative that supports Habitat’s mission locally while giving used furniture and building materials a second life—keeping them out of landfills.
