Elementary School: Jayla, age 7 –
Housing Authority city of Erie (July)
“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.”

Middle School: Owen, 12 — 
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.”

Elaiza, 15 – ​Puerto Rico Public Administration
​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.
