Habitat Homeownership
Homeowners who partner with Habitat benefit from affordable housing expenses, from an affordable mortgage to energy-efficient homes that help mitigate fluctuating utility costs. Habitat homeowners also get the benefit of learning about their homes through the process of building side-by-side with volunteers.
