The site for the home was donated to Habitat for Humanity by the Joe
Pelc family. The public is invited to celebrate with the family,
take a tour of the home after the program and enjoy refreshments.
Habitat for Humanity's goal is to provide decent and affordable
housing to those unable to secure it through more traditional means.
Eligibility is based upon need, income and a willingness to partner
with the organization.
Families and individuals chosen for Habitat for Humanity homes do
not receive a handout but a hand up. Habitat homes are financed with
affordable, no-interest loans. Mortgage payments are made locally to
Habitat for Humanity of Logan County, which in turn uses the funds
to build or rehabilitate other homes within the county. Families
must have the financial ability to make monthly mortgage payments.
In addition to a monetary down payment, families must provide 350
hours and individuals must provide 250 hours of "sweat equity" into
the completion of their home and homes of others.
