How are the homes funded?
Habitat builds homes with volunteer labour and as much donated or cost-reduced material as possible. Fundraising takes place to help offset expenses of materials, services and land when they are not available through donations. Financial support is received from individuals, corporations, trusts and grants, service groups and the faith community.
Loan payments from current families are retained by the affiliate, which holds the funds, to put toward future projects.
