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 hand-out, but a hand up. Habitat homes are financed
with affordable no-interest loans. Mortgage payments are made
locally to Habitat for Humanity-Logan County who 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.

building homes and lives, but a sense of community as well.
