Habitat for Humanity - Faith Build in Lincoln Fall 2017

For more information on the program: lincolnhabitat.org/get-involved

Our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity has accomplished much since its beginning in 1988. Since 1988, Habitat for Humanity has built or repaired 144 homes in Lancaster County. This fall, our ministry partners, Habitat for Humanity, are joining faith communities together to build decent and affordable housing for a family in Lincoln. There are 1,500 Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the U.S. and over 70 International Habitat for Humanity sites, one of which is our long time partner Habitat for Humanity/El Salvador. 

Investing resources in a Habitat for Humanity home is wise for many reasons. Foreclosure rates on Habitat for Humanity homes in the U.S. is less than two percent. Children of homeowners are 116 percent more likely to graduate from college compared with children in families who do not own their homes.

Future Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families. Ninety percent of surveyed Habitat homeowners in 44 U.S. cities said they could not have owned a home without help from Habitat. Habitat gives hope to families and communities.
