HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL

Description

What We Do

We build affordable housing for hard-working low-income families in Hancock and Pearl River counties, but there’s much more to our story.

Through homeowner education, we prepare families for the life-changing experience of home ownership. We don’t give houses away; We sell homes to qualified low-income families and give them a 0% interest loan for up to 30 years.

Our home ownership, critical home repair, and weatherization programs contribute to family stability. Habitat homeowners are all low-income first time home buyers. Almost without exception, they were previously renters. The impact of homeownership on their lives is long lasting and transformative.
