Overview

Mission

Habitat brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. The organization seeks out qualified applicants starting with a yearly application process for individuals and families to apply. The applicant must meet 3 basic qualifiers: the need for housing, the ability to pay and the willingness to partner. The partner family goes through a complete review of financial history, background checks, and family housing need. We have 3 levels of review and research to make sure we have done our due diligence that aligns with our mission.

What it reported doing in 2024

Habitat for humanity works in partnership with people, everywhere, from all walks of life, to offer qualified candidates the opportunity to purchase a new habitat home, pending the requirements are met. It is our vision, that all people have a decent place to call home. Our affiliates largest program is our homeownership program. That program builds homes for approved deserving families, who in turn purchase the homes from habitat with a zero-interest rate. Included in our program is homeowner education classes, including budgeting principals and home maintenance.
