North Tulsa -

A North Tulsa family has moved into their dream home.

Habitat for Humanity volunteers built a house in one week.

Tamika Brown is the new homeowner, and says the house is a blessing. "I just want to say thank you and thank God for making it happen."

The house is green certified and is entirely made of materials from here in America. It's the first of its kind in the country.

Brown and her family were chosen through an application process.
