Habitat for Humanity raises funds to cover the upfront cost of building a home and then extends a unique opportunity to deserving families. Through generous donations and community support, Habitat secures the necessary funds to construct safe and affordable homes. Once the house is complete, Habitat provides the homeowner with a 30-year interest-free mortgage that is tailored not to exceed 30% of their income. This innovative approach makes homeownership attainable, ensuring that families can achieve their dreams of owning a home without the financial burden of traditional mortgages. It's a commitment to building not just houses but sustainable futures for individuals and communities.
Testimonials from Habitat Homeowners
"When I applied for the chance at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with Habitat, I didn’t expect to gain a whole family. Habitat means the world to my family and me. Before Habitat, I was nervous to even speak, let alone approach a person I didn’t know. My daughter and I aren’t generally very social people, but we have become close, like family, without even realizing it. I have so much respect for Habitat, not just for coming into our lives but for saving it. "
- Brittney, Habitat Homeowner
"As a single mom of three, becoming a homeowner through Habitat for Humanity has transformed my life in ways I never thought possible. This opportunity means stability for my family. A safe and loving environment where my kids can grow and thrive. With a place to call our own, I can finally provide them with the security they need to flourish. Habitat has not only given us a home but also a sense of community, where we can build friendships and support each other. "

“In December of 2022, I had pretty much given up. I was struggling to find a place to live and I was struggling to find faith in humanity….and then I got a call. I had been accepted into Habitat for Humanity’s homeownership program. Since then everything has changed and a group of people have accepted me as part of a team that works with heart and determination to not only build homes, but raise money to build those homes. Your donation is put to good use!"
