Affordable Home Building Program
AFFORDABLE HOME BUILDING: FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, HFHGVC COMPLETED 2 HOMES WHICH WERE SOLD TO FAMILIES. BECAUSE HABITAT IS NOT A GIVE-AWAY PROGRAM, FAMILIES PURCHASE THE HOME FROM HABITAT AT NO PROFIT AND HABITAT PROVIDES A ZERO INTEREST MORTGAGE TO THE FAMILY FOR THE LIFE OF THE LOAN. HABITAT ALSO HELPS TO SECURE ANY DOWNPAYMENT OR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE FUNDING THAT THE FAMILY MAY BE QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE. THESE FUNDS HELP PAY DOWN A PORTION OF THE MORTGAGE BEFORE THE FAMILY EVEN MOVES IN,GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THE AFFORDABILITY OF THIS HOME IS SUSTAINABLE FOR THE LONG- TERM. AS THE FAMILY MAKES THEIR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS,ALL FUNDS ARE USED TO HELP SUPPORT THE BUILDING OF FUTURE HABITAT HOMES. CONSEQUENTLY, WHILE TWO FAMILIES WERE HELPED IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, ALL FAMILIES THAT WORK WITH HABITAT IN THE FUTURE ARE ALSO ASSISTED. FINALLY, A CONTINUING SIGNIFICANT PROGRAM SERVICE IS THE ON-GOING EDUCATION FOR OUR HOMEOWNERS, HABITAT WANTS EACH HOMEOWNER TO BE SUCCESSFUL FOR THE LONG-TERM AND HAS FOUND THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO DEFINE WHAT IS REQUIRED IN SUCCESSFUL HOMEOWNERSHIP. STAFF IS INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATION PROGRAM BUT ALSO RELIES ON THE INVOLVEMENT OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND LOCAL COMMUNITY EXPERTS, TO HELP FACILITATE THAT EFFORT.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.1MReStore Operations Program
