Description
We are a Habitat for Humanity International affiliate that was established in 1993 in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Since then we have provided over 25 families with houses, restoring hope and faith into their lives. Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry, who works in partnership with people in need to build simple, decent, affordable homes.
We do this by going into the community and asking churches, civic groups, organizations, companies, schools, and individuals to make money and in-kind donations to build a Habitat home. Once all of the money and materials are raised we build a house from volunteer labor, offering a pre-selected family, who is currently living in substandard housing, a 25-year no-interest mortgage on the home. We also offer training and support to our families on budgeting, finance, and homeownership. Many times this is a new way of life for the family and all people involved are forever changed.
