Program Summary

Program Summary:

Low Income Affordable Homeownership Program

Habitat is a HOMEOWNERSHIP program designed to give low-income families the opportunity to purchase a home. Through volunteer labor and the generous donation of money and materials, we build simple decent homes with qualified partner families. Homes are then SOLD to the partner family at zero profit and financed with a zero percent interest loan. Homeowner's monthly mortgage payments are then used to build additional Habitat homes.

Client Story

Share a Brief Client Story:
Olga, a single mother with three children, was sharing a three bedroom mobile home (only two bedrooms usable in winter) with another family of four. Her monthly rent was over 40% of her income. Her Habitat home consists of three bedrooms, five other rooms, and a nice yard. Her monthly payments (including taxes and insurance) are less that 19% of her gross income.
