Construction

Across the valley, Habitat builds quality housing to improve neighborhoods and enrich the lives of families living in substandard housing.

Qualifying for a Habitat Home

A qualifying family pays for their home with an affordable mortgage and through a down payment of 200 to 400 sweat-equity hours. To qualify, applicants need three things:

What We Build

  • Homes have between three and five bedrooms with a minimum of two bathrooms; townhomes are two stories and have three bedrooms.
  • Reflect the style of the neighborhood in which they are built.
  • Average home values range between $110,000 and $185,000; wellbelow the average values of the homes (costs are subject to change without notice).

How We Build

  • Use the National Standards of the For Profit Building Community and Energy Star Standards
  • Volunteers and future homeowners partner on Habitat homes to do the carpentry, roofing, siding, interior trim, painting, and landscaping
  • Subcontractors for the site and foundation work, HVAC and stucco and plumbing
