Mission Statement: Hart County Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God, volunteers, and responsible families in need to build a stronger community by creating decent, affordable housing.
Hart County (HFH) is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build decent, affordable housing in Hart County. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.
Partner families invest hundreds of hours of labor -"sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go to purchase land and materials to build more houses.
Partner families are selected without consideration of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but preference is given to applicants who have demonstrated family stability and have lived in Hart County for at least 3 years. Applicants for a Hart county Habitat house are solicited periodically, depending on when resources are available. See the PARTNER FAMILIES page for more information on criteria for applying.
Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. For information about making tax-deductible donations, see the GET INVOLVED page.

Upcoming Events
The local professional women selected to participate represent everything about the strength, leadership, compassion, and beauty of Hart County. Cost of Home is another HFHI program created to identify and promote ways to make housing payments and upkeep more affordable. Too many families, in particular single-mother, low to moderate income families, are forced to spend 50 percent or more of their monthly income on housing. This leaves very little to save back for other incidentals, or emergencies.
Join us for the Hart Habitat Cost of Home Podcast on WKLY, Wednesday, March 8 at 8 a.m. Please promote as often as possible. And please request questions for submission by Monday, March 8. Thanks so much for all the continued support. |
