 The house that will become a home for Danielle Davis and her
children Alexis and Jasmine is located at 537 Tenth Street in
Lincoln, IL. The public is invited to celebrate with the family and
following the program take a tour of the home 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. Habitat homes are financed with affordable
no-interest loans.

Mortgage payments are made locally to Habitat for Humanity who 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 250 hours
of “sweat equity” into the completion of their home and homes of others.

Habitat for Humanity is not only building homes and lives, but a sense of
community, one house at a time.
