How Habitat Works...
"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." -Author Unknown
Habitat for Humanity does not give out homes like Extreme Makeover shows, or some HGTV shows. It helps supply people in need of a sufficient home as quickly as possible.
We say we "help" supply the home because Habitat requires both Sweat Equity during the building of the home, and maneagable monthly payments after the home is built from the ones recieving the home.
Sweat Equity is work that the person or family puts into the building of the home. A certain number of hours is required which will decrease the cost of the home.
The payments after the home are built are manageable and give the family a chance to truly own their own home!
