Q: Are Habitat homes given away?
A: No. Our homes are built in partnership with low income families who contribute 300-500 “sweat equity” hours to their homes. Families pay a down payment and then a zero interest mortgage with payments based on 25% of their income. Find out more about our Homeownership Program.
