About Us
More than Houses How we build is just as important as what we build. Habitat houses are built with a contribution of 350 hours of "sweat equity", labor on the part of the Partner Families (familes accepted into the program). By investing themselves in the building process, Partner Families gain self-reliance, self-esteem and new skills. By investing time, money, materials, and their expertise Habitat volunteers, donors, organizations, businesses and professional trades gain new relationships, which extend far beyond the immediate impact. Habitat brings together people from all walks of life, with varied skills and economic backgrounds to achieve a common goal of service to others.
Method Selected families who are successful in completing the requirements will receive a no-interest mortgage on a house built to accommodate their family size and budget. The Partner Family will be expected to make a pre-payment of house insurance and property taxes prior to closing of their house. The mortgage payment is the cost of construction, along with the includes the house insurance, property taxes and a $25 repair escrow. As the cost of building houses increase, so too, will the mortgage payment. Those persons who are interested should see the Apply for a Home page |
