Use your skills for everything a graphic artist can do. The possibilities are endless and most of it can be done from home. Habitat for Humanity is unique in what we do to provide affordable housing to transform lives to help families become self-sufficient. Here are some thought-provoking facts about us:
- Our Habitat families must be working because they get a mortgage.
- Our families earn 30%-60% of the average median income. ($22,000-$45,000)
- We are the builder and the mortgage company. Our interest rate is always 0%.
- We have only had one foreclosure in our history despite the fact that our Habitat families cannot qualify for a bank loan because their income is too low.
- Every family must participate in our 28 hour financial literacy training course.
- Every family must work 350-500 of sweat equity with FVHH before moving into their home. Also, 200 of those hours must be on other FVHH homes.
- The total house payment including taxes and insurance is lower than comparable rent.
- By working with a Federal HUD program FVHH is able to acquire $8,000 in down payment for each family.
- FVHH uses a model that has been used successfully 600,000 times around the world.
- FVHH has a positive impact on our community by paying $3 million dollars in property taxes and $5 million dollars in building costs.
- We create a culture for people to benefit each other. Volunteerism is good for everyone.
- We transform lives. A University of Southern Indiana study shows measurable proof that Habitat for Humanity has an enormous positive impact in many areas for each family.

Mission Statement
We are a Habitat for Humanity non-profit affiliate dedicated to the Fox Valley community. We work in partnership with people of all faiths and races to develop communities for people in need by building and renovating houses to create home ownership opportunities. Our fundamental premise is to help others by providing a hand up, not a handout. As an affiliate, we are a grass roots organization, independently operated to serve our local area community. While operating under the greater Habitat Covenant, we independently coordinate all aspects of Habitat home building in our area, including fundraising, building site selection, partner family selection and support, and house construction.
Description
With the gracious support of individuals, churches, local businesses, corporate and other non-profit sponsors/partners, we have proudly served the Fox Valley communities for over 30 years. We are continually exploring new ways to generate the necessary revenue and sponsorship to enable us to create affordable housing for those in need. These lives are only changed by the devotion of our affiliate’s team of talented volunteers, board members, and hard working families that understand the opportunity we provide.
We welcome volunteers 18 and over. Registration is required for all volunteers. For more detailed information and to register, please visit our volunteer website at www.volunteerfvhabitat.com. Information for community service work is also available on the website.
