Tulsa's Habitat for Humanity partnered with other community organizations to build him a home. He says this is the first time he's lived in a space designed specifically for him.

"I'll be able to get up out of bed, go to the shower, go to the bathroom - just the accessibility, the independence back is everything," he said.

Emeka said he can't wait to have family and friends over to his new home.
