Habitat for Humanity of Sarpy County 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 and renovate
decent, affordable housing. The houses then
are sold to those in need at no profit and
with no interest charged.
|
|
Because the Sarpy Habitat receives no government funding, it relies on
donations of labor, cash, materials and services to build homes for
economically disadvantaged families. Faith based communities,
businesses, organizations, foundations and individuals provide the funding necessary to
build houses. An estimated fifteen hundred volunteer hours
provide the labor. 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. For information on
becoming a
family partner, call us at 292-6560.
Applicants must meet the
Application Guidelines
& are required to fill out the
Pre-screening Questionnaire
form if interested. This form require
