The local affiliate has built, renovated and repaired more than 160 homes since its founding in 1985. Habitat relies on building partnerships, volunteer labor, and donated materials to continue to produce safe, decent, affordable housing to homeowners with excellent credit, an income between 45-60 percent of the area median income, and the ability to pay for their new Habitat home. Homeowners purchase the new house with a no-interest, 20 to 30-year mortgage carried by Habitat. The payments made by the homeowner are then recycled to continue to provide home owning opportunities for more deserving families.
