Tulsa Habitat for Humanity

Description

Tulsa Habitat for Humanity is a local, non-profit affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. We work in partnership with low-income people to eliminate substandard housing conditions at a local level. The Tulsa affiliate began in 1988, and has helped more than 280 families move into new homes.

Tulsa Habitat is a "hand up," not a "hand out" program. All families partner with by committing to serving a pre-determined number of sqeat equity hours, by committing to working side-by-side building their home with volunteers, as well as committ to purchasing the home from the Tulsa Habitat with a no-interest, at-cost mortgage. This allows the family's payments on the new home to remain extremely reasonable.
