The homes created in this project, priced at about $240,000, are approximately 1,200 square feet each, with two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, a concrete patio, and a one-car attached garage. In order to be eligible, buyers had to make no more than 80% of the Area Median Income. For a household of two people, that would translate to an annual household income of up to $83,120.

Christian and Wells got the keys to their new home just after Christmas -- what they call the "best Christmas gift ever." After settling into their new home, they're starting to think about what else might be possible.

"With all of this, maybe the possibility of building our little family, too. I never thought that was possible, either," Christian said.
