Do you think the idea of
homeownership is just a dream for you or your family? If so, you
should attend a Sunday afternoon orientation sponsored by Habitat
for Humanity of Logan County to learn how you may qualify to
participate in a program leading to homeownership. Eligibility is
based upon one year of residency within the county, need, income and
a willingness to partner with the organization.

Habitat for Humanity's goal is to provide decent and affordable
housing to those unable to secure it through more traditional means.
Nearly one-quarter of the world's population, including 10 million
Americans, lack adequate housing.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" into the completion of their home and the homes of others.
