Becoming a Habitat Homeowner
Many families find themselves unable to escape unhealthy, unsafe and inefficient housing.
Black mold, pest infestation, broken plumbing, defective electrical fixtures and wiring, and peeling, lead-based paint are all-too-common problems for many on lower incomes.
Accepting these problems leads to affordable monthly rents, but often with expensive, unhealthy, even dangerous, tradeoffs. What was cheap to move into can quickly become too expensive to live in.
Habitat for Humanity offers a solution to substandard housing by building safe, efficient and healthy new homes in partnership with qualified low-income families. Typical monthly payments average $450, including property taxes and insurance.
