- Safe
- Habitat homes are built to standards that provide families with a durable home that will last a lifetime. The health and overall well-being of the family are driving forces in the pride and attention to detail taken in building our homes.
- Respectable
- Our homes reflect the surrounding community. Made to be modest sizes, they are large enough for the family's needs yet small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs to a minimum.
- Affordable
- Thanks to the hundreds of hours of labor from volunteers and partner families, combined with our focus on modest size and energy efficiency, families can purchase Habitat houses at an affordable monthly mortgage. Your support is the key to this affordability, giving families the security of a home they can truly call their own.
The Homeownership Program
Our Homeownership Program is designed to be accessible to qualified low-to-moderate-income individuals and families who cannot qualify for a conventional loan.
It is essential to know that the Habitat Homeownership Program does not give homes away, and Habitat homes are not free. Habitat homeowners make monthly payments at approximately 30% of the buyer/owner's gross income. The monthly payment includes the mortgage, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance.
Our Homeownership Program is a community effort. By working closely with volunteers, families, individuals, corporations, congregations, and donors, we can address this critical housing issue throughout Orangeburg County. Each contribution is vital, and we work together to make homeownership possible for these hardworking families and individuals. Learn about the details of becoming a homeowner.
