How does Habitat work?

Through volunteer labor and donations of money and construction materials, Habitat builds simple, decent homes along side potential owners. These homes are sold to selected families at cost with no profit and no interest charged for the life of the loan. In addition, potential homeowners must provide 300 hours of service to Habitat. New homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are then used to build more Habitat homes within our community.
Making a Difference in Franklin County
Habitat's ministry is based on the conviction that to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ we must reflect Christ's love in our own lives by loving and caring for one another. Our love must not be words only—it must be true love, which shows itself in action. Habitat provides an opportunity for people to put their faith and love into action, bringing diverse groups of people together to make affordable housing and better communities a reality for everyone.
