Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged. Houses are built with a contribution of hundreds of hours of labor on the part of the homeowners and volunteers. By investing themselves in the building process, homeowners gain self-reliance, self-esteem and new skills. Their down payments and monthly mortgage payments are used to build more houses through a revolving Fund for Humanity.
