“My home is very special. It’s my favorite place because it’s where I get to love my family and be myself. It’s my favorite place to cuddle with my big sister. I’m very lucky to have a home.”
Puerto Rico Public Housing Administration (2020 cover)
“I compared my home with a tree where the roots are strengthened by the love of my mother, who helps me grow, full of values and love. My home is a game, where I think that each branch is a goal to be reached.”
A home for me is a place where I can spend time with my family, a place where I can feel protected. A home for me is not just a house, a home for me is my island where all my friends and family are because where they go doesn’t matter if we’re together. It is the only thing that’s important. They’re my home.

Immanuel, 10 — York Housing Authority (July)
“Whenever I go somewhere exciting far away or even overnight at a friend’s house I am always happy to be back in my own home. There’s no place like home! Even when I go to visit North Carolina, Philadelphia, or fly to Phoenix, Arizona, where everyone has a pool in their backyard. I love being home afterwards. There’s no place like home.”
Natasha, 14 — Puerto Rico Public Housing Administration
“My home for me is my refuge, where I feel safe and protected. It is also my world where I have everything I need: love, trust, and where I receive the discipline that will shape me for the future. A home is where I feel safe and I have everything I need to be happy, an invaluable treasure.”
Sean, 15 — Housing Commission of Anne Arundel County (March)
“My poster explains my life and dreams. My home is my safe place. “
