Meucine Jean also received a complimentary car care service from AutoNation Mobile Service
Associates from AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN) were honored to fulfill Meucine Jean’s greatest hope of becoming a homeowner by presenting her and her children with the key to a brand-new home they helped build together through Habitat for Humanity of Broward. In addition to associates completing 300 hours of sweat equity with Jean and her family, the total dollar amount of AutoNation’s home sponsorship was $100,000.
The dedication ceremony took place recently at BBI Village, 1900 Northwest 10th Avenue, in Fort Lauderdale, a community that AutoNation helped build during Habitat for Humanity of Broward’s CEO Build in 2025 and 2026.
A single mother, Jean has been working hard as a registered nurse for Aetna/CVS since 2014, bringing compassion and excellence to patient care while raising five children with the same positive values and commitment to education her mother modeled in Little Haiti. “Family means everything to me, and I have dreamed of owning a home in a safe neighborhood where my children could play outside,” Jean said. This dream has proved to be an uphill battle for Jean whose rent is more than half her income, leaving little for savings.
“On behalf of AutoNation, I congratulate Meucine for her determination and unwavering dedication to her family,” said Lisa Ryans, Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Communications for AutoNation and Habitat for Humanity Board Member. “We’re honored to partner with Habitat for Humanity and proud to have played a role in helping make her dream of owning a home a reality.”
With homeownership finally a reality, Jean can carry forward her mother’s legacy of resilience and hope, building a foundation where her five children can thrive and where the principle of never giving up becomes the inheritance she passes to the next generation. As a bonus, the AutoNation Mobile Service Team also donated complimentary car care for her vehicle, to be performed at the Jean family’s new residence.
