Habitat homes are sold to partner families, who take out a 20-year affordable mortgage loan at 0-percent interest. Homeowners invest hundreds of hours of labor, called “sweat equity,” while working alongside volunteers on his or her home. The homeowner’s mortgage payments are then used to help build more Habitat homes.
The Habitat for Humanity goal is “to give people a hand up, not a handout.”
