ABOUT HABITAT

Habitat for Humanity® of Jefferson County is the sixth oldest affiliate in the Habitat for Humanity® network. As an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity® International, Habitat of Jefferson County is built on the same principals as Habitat International – it is a Christian based, ecumenical not for profit organization whose mission is to eliminate poverty housing. Habitat strives to do this by building modest, affordable homes together with motivated partner families who cannot afford a conventional or government-backed mortgage.

Habitat partner families contribute 300 hours of sweat equity toward the building of their own and others’ homes. Once the house and the sweat equity hours are complete, the partner family purchases the house from Habitat at cost and pays a zero-interest, twenty year mortgage to the affiliate. Principle payments go into a revolving fund that helps Habitat build more houses. Therefore, a Habitat homeowner becomes a Habitat supporter!
