Mission Statement
"Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity is an interdenominational Christian ministry whose purpose is to build homes in partnership with God, community, and qualified low-income families in the Verde Valley."
Description
Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity (VVHFH) is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and low income, working families in our community. Our partner families are required to make a minimal down payment, contribute 300- 450 hours of "sweat equity," and pay for their home through an affordable mortgage. They come from all walks of life and through VVHFH, they will become first time homeowners.
At Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone everywhere deserves a decent place to live. Our program gives people a "hand up, not a hand out." We empower families who are willing to work hard to achieve their dream of homeownership. Everyone in your community wins when Verde Valley Habitat develops and sells affordable housing to qualified deserving families. Affordable houses owned and occupied by working families create stability in lives and neighborhoods. Stability produces confidence and happiness for Habitat families that help build, and then buy their own home. It’s infectious and uplifting for the entire community.
