However, Habitat mortgages are interest free. The monthly house payments are incorporated into a revolving fund to help build houses for other families. In addition to the mortgage, each homeowner is responsible for the utilities, maintenance and other standard expenses. Each house is unique. Although we have standard plans, each homeowner chooses a color scheme, carpet, tile, siding, etc.
Differences also occur due to the number of persons to live in the house.
Even though our houses are not all the same, we will do our best, with God's help and the money and materials available, to build decent and affordable houses. We are currently building Habitat houses in the Near Southeast area of Fort Worth, and soon we will begin building in the Northside area. The mission of FWAHfH is to build homes and help to rebuild neighborhoods in partnership with God's people in need. We build simple, decent houses at no interest and with no profit. Families partner with us to help build their own home, and the homes of other Habitat families.
