Nurul Islamnuru, an immigrant from Bangladesh, rented a one-bedroom apartment in Queens, New York, with his wife, three children and father-in-law before, in July 2022, purchasing a four-bedroom home with a back yard for his kids to play in.
“I feel really proud,” said Islamnuru, who spent 18 years working as a busser and server at a California Pizza Kitchen and then worked in a souvenir shop at Times Square.
