Monroe
County, Tennessee Habitat for Humanity 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.
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.
