House Build: Feb 16th 2019

Cabinets

This Saturday we are looking for 8-10 volunteers to help with cabinets in the rest of the house. Work will begin at 8:00 am until early afternoon, with a break for lunch about 11:30, courtesy of some great neighbors.

Looking for affordable housing? Own your home, but need repairs?

We build houses, but more than that, we help families improve the skills it takes to be a success in life:

·         Studies  of children ages 5-8 revealed that children of homeowners scored 9% higher in math and 7% higher in reading

·         Studies show that children living in owned homes have fewer behavioral  problems than children whose parents rent housing.

·         Habitat family members become neighborhood leaders, serving in the PTA and community associations.

·         Habitat families are supported through establishing good credit, creating a family budget, purchasing insurance, paying taxes, maintaining property values and many other effective homeownership skills.

We turn families who may not otherwise be able to afford a home of their own into proud homeowners.

Habitat can also help current lower-income home owners with critical home repair that may be beyond their means. Zero interest loans for needed materials, repayment plans are based on actual ability to pay. Sweat equity options in order to qualify toward partnering with Habitat volunteers in completing the repair project.
