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!
