The dream of home ownership takes planning and patience to become a reality.

Over the past couple of years a team of professionals in Salina has come alongside first time home buyers to help piece the puzzle together.

Mike Peterson and Gary Hobbie with the Community Housing Development Corporation joined in on the KSAL Morning News Extra Friday with a look at the process and how their mission places people in fixed up homes.

“Providing quality housing in an affordable manner for low to moderate income persons is why we’re here,” Peterson said.
