Habitat for Humanity of
Logan County invites the public to attend the groundbreaking for Habitat's
18th home in Logan County. The newest home will be built for the Amber
Senters family. The groundbreaking ceremony will be on Sunday, July 21, at 2
p.m. at 705 N. Madison St. |
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 these funds to build or rehabilitate
other houses 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" in the completion of their home
and the homes of others.
