Partnering with Habitat for Humanity

Families in need of decent shelter apply to local Habitat affiliates. The affiliate’s selection committee chooses homeowners based on their level of need, their willingness to partner with Habitat and their ability to repay the loan.
Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable loans. Mortgage length varies from seven to 30 years.
Homeowners are required to invest hundreds of hours of their own labor – sweat equity – into building their own and other Habitat houses.
Habitat for Humanity invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses in partnership with families in need.
