With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better future for themselves and their families. Through the use of volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds homes for families in need. Homes are sold with low interest mortgages. Homeowners make monthly payments, which are set at 30% or less of their income, making homeownership an affordable reality. In addition to building new homes, Habitat also partners with families who live in non-Habitat homes to assist them in making repairs to their homes, such as exterior painting, siding repairs, or cleaning, repairing, or installing ramps and handrails, etc. By offering repairs as well as new construction, Habitat ensures the most cost-efficient means of providing affordable and safe homes.
