Cynthia Whitaker is a First-Time Homeowner with help from Home HeadQuarters

The former McKinney Manor resident has purchased a remodeled Home HeadQuarters home on South Salina St.. Whitaker, 73, moved to Syracuse nine years ago and felt fortunate to find a place for her and her three grandchildren to live. With McKinney Manor closing, residents have until June 10 to decide on their housing situation. Whitaker decided to take the First-Time Homebuyer Education Course offered by Home Headquarters. She started in December, and five months later, she is a homeowner with a place to call her own. Whittaker was featured in a Syracuse.com article recently as well.
