Organization: HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL INC
Mission: Warren County Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Warren County Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.
Activities: Volunteers provide most of the labor and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor, "sweat equity", into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving fund for Habitat that is used to build more homes. Warren County Habitat for Humanity locates and trains a Sponsor/Advocate/Friend (SAF) for each partner family. These individuals work with each Partner throughout the process of planning, building and settling into their new home. Habitat's philosophy is work with not for our partners.
Religious classification: Christianity
