Habitat’s mission is to eliminate poverty housing by building simple, livable homes for God’s people in need. We partner with families who cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage and have no other way to own a home on their own.

The homeownership program is based upon the concept of partnership. Habitat commits to working with the local community to build or renovate decent houses and sell them to qualified families with a 0% interest mortgage. In turn, partner families must contribute “sweat equity” before purchasing the home, attend homeownership workshops, follow program guidelines, and repay the mortgage.

The Partner Family Committee of the Board helps families with homeownership issues before and after settlement, providing guidance and encouragement.
