On Saturday, April 13th, April Porter of Wilmington, a Habitat homeowner of 20 years, paid off her mortgage. In congratulatory tradition, Habitat for Humanity held a ceremonial mortgage burning at her home that was attended by family, friends, and Habitat staff and board members. This is an important realization for any property owner but especially notable for a Habitat homeowner.
