How it works:

  • Habitat selects partner families based on income, satisfactory credit, need and willingness to partner with us for the construction and maintenance of their Habitat home.
  • Habitat builds or rehabilitates the Habitat home using volunteer labor and donated materials to keep costs low and take no profit for our services.
  • Partner families contribute “sweat equity” – an investment of labor towards the construction of their future home.
  • The Habitat home is sold to our partner family with a low or no-interest, affordable loan.
  • Payments made by the homeowners are placed in a revolving fund to help Habitat for Humanity serve others in need.
