Bette Brazzle and her son moved in this house in August, 1999. We are now looking to extend to other communities in Phelps County. Our next building site will be somewhere in St. James. Families apply to local Habitat affiliates. A Family Selection Committee chooses homeowners based on their level of need, their willingness to become partners in the program and their ability to repay the loan.
Every affiliate follows a nondiscriminatory policy of family selection.
Neither race or religion is a factor in choosing the families that receive Habitat houses. Your cash donation can be specified by you, to pay for a specific part of the building, or for a specific use. This helps to build homes overseas. Our overhead consists ofa telephone, post office box and mailing expenses. We do not have the cost of renting an office, and no member of the board or committees is paid.
