New 10-Home Affordable Community Breaks Ground in Oakland Park

Habitat for Humanity of Broward recently celebrated a significant milestone with the groundbreaking ceremony for Moss Estates, a new 10-home affordable homeownership community located at 1931 NW 27th St. in Oakland Park. The event took place on Thursday, September 3, marking the beginning of a project that promises to provide stable housing for hardworking families in the area.

The development is made possible by a generous $1 million gift from Bob and Sandra Moss, who are committed to expanding access to homeownership for Broward families. Their contribution aligns with a vision of creating opportunities for stability and generational impact, reflecting a belief in the foundational role of home in fostering hope and opportunity.

Nancy Robin, CEO and executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Broward, expressed gratitude to the Moss family and other sponsors for their support. “We are grateful to Bob and Sandra, along with all of our sponsors and community partners, for helping 10 Broward families build brighter futures through homeownership,” she said, highlighting the collaborative effort behind the project.

TaShierra Richardson, a future homeowner, shared her excitement about the community. “I literally prayed to be in this lot. My church is down the street, my job is down the street, my son gets somewhere to call home. Having a community here to build with is just overwhelming,” she said, emphasizing the transformative potential of the project for her family.

Bob Moss, chairman and founder of Moss Construction, reiterated the family’s belief in the importance of home as a foundation for opportunity and stability. “Sandra and I have always believed that a home is the foundation for opportunity, stability and hope,” he said. “Habitat Broward has spent decades helping families achieve the dream of homeownership, and we are honored to support that mission.”

In addition to the Moss family’s generous contribution, Publix Super Markets Charities has provided $300,000 in support of the project. With construction expected to be completed in January 2028, the community stands as a testament to the power of partnership and shared vision in addressing housing needs.

This initiative reflects the biblical principle found in Micah 6:8, which calls for doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God. By investing in affordable homeownership, the project embodies a commitment to serving the vulnerable and fostering a sense of community and belonging.
