Rob’s Member Story: Foundations of Change
“If your community is strong, believe me, everything around you is better.”
Rob, CEO, Habitat for Humanity, Huronia
In Huronia, Rob Cikoja left his private construction business to become the Chief Executive Officer for Habitat for Humanity. Right away, he faced an uphill battle. Community trust was at an all-time low and housing costs were quickly rising.
Rob needed to create a new model that would serve his community, while building donor trust.

A key partnership
As Rob gained footing in his new role, he learned where to find critical support. To start, he leaned into his relationship with Meridian. Together, we helped Rob restructure his organization’s mortgage and home ownership model to create a housing program with lasting impact.
