Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County, Texas
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing organization
which works in partnership with families in need to build simple, decent,
affordable homes.
Habitat Partner families work side-by-side with other volunteers to construct
the homes.
Once a Family Partner completes 350 hours of "sweat equity", Habitat finances
their finished home through a twenty-year, interest-free mortgage that the
family repays.
Making a monthly mortgage payment, usually less than rent for minimal housing,
gives Partners pride of accomplishment as well as pride of ownership.
In addition, their mortgage payments are part of Habitat's circle of
partnership, providing revenue to continue the cycle of building more Habitat
homes.
Owning a Habitat home frees families from the burden and worry of inadequate housing. It allows families to concentrate on job success and better education, while giving their children space for study and play.
