About Habitat |
|
 Abilene HFH is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Begun in 1990, Abilene Habitat works in partnership with people in need to renovate or build simple, decent, affordable housing. The houses are then sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses. Since 1990, Abilene Habitat has renovated or built homes for more than 127 local families. We currently hold mortgages on 87 Abilene homes. ReStore, Habitat's home improvement center, receives donations of new and used building materials, appliances, and home furnishings. We then sell the donated merchandise to the public at 50% to 75% below retail. One result of Abilene Habitat's mission is transformational and sustainable community development, accomplished on Habitat homeowner at a time. 100% of Abilene Habitat families, current and prospective, are considered Hard-to-Reach. Our income-qualification guidelines are below the 2008 federal poverty guidelines, with family income at 50% to 80% below Abilene's median income. Back To Top |
