In South Florida, a village unfolds across the landscape, its seventy-plus homes a striking testament to collective effort and resilience. This is the largest Habitat for Humanity village in the United States, a place where families earn their futures through dedication. Each resident has poured 1000 hours of sweat equity into these homes, mastering skills through courses and labor, securing a mortgage that marks their stake in a dream realized.

At the forefront of this endeavor stand Rita Case and her late husband Rick, whose vision sparked this thriving community. Yet among the many who sustain it, Art and Marcy Falcone shine as steadfast champions. Their generosity has left an indelible mark, not as founders, but as vital contributors who have poured their hearts into building homes and hope.

One home stands as a testament to the Falcones’ generosity. With a donation of $100,000, they sponsored a home that embodies their spirit of giving. On a day filled with sunlight and purpose, Marcy joined the annual Women’s Build, her presence alongside her daughters-in-law, Anna, Ashley, Jaclyn, and Lauren Munoz, a powerful force. They worked alongside the future homeowner, sharing not just labor but laughter and hope, making the day unforgettable.

Art, ever the community leader, didn’t lag behind. He joined forces with other local businessmen for another build day, his enthusiasm infectious as he swung a hammer with purpose. His joy was evident, not just in the construction but in the community spirit he helped foster.

Their story, however, does not end with one home or even two. The Falcones have pledged to build yet another, with construction set to start this year. Each home they sponsor is more than wood and nails; it’s a legacy of compassion, a testament to what can be achieved when one chooses to give back.

Here, in this village, the Falcones’ contributions weave into a larger tapestry of dreams made real. Alongside Rita and Rick’s foundational vision, Art and Marcy stand as pillars of support, their efforts a quiet yet powerful force. Through their hands, homes rise, families thrive, and a community endures—a testament to what happens when compassion meets action.
