Habitat builds and renovates houses with the help of the homeowner families. These houses are then sold to the partner families at no profit, financed with affordable no-interest loans. The homeowner’s monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Habitat that is used to build more houses. Families apply to the local affiliate’s selection committee and are chosen based on their level of need, willingness to become partners in the program and their ability to repay the no-interest loan. Neither race nor religion is a factor in choosing the families who receive Habitat houses.
