ATLANTA (AP) — Walking through the frame of his soon-to-be new home on a recent morning, an excited Ozzy Herrera could envision the future. A brown leather sofa to match the floors. Terra-cotta-colored walls. A bar cart near the kitchen.

Herrera, who works two jobs at Atlanta’s airport, never imagined he would own a home at the age of 27.

“It’s special. It’s magical,” he said.
