There are a few individuals in Sumter County who have, for diverse reasons, decided to remain in substandard housing. If they should change their mind in the future, affordable options will remain readily available through the initiative. HFH Americus-Sumter County expects to build Habitat houses for many years to come, but at a reduced annual construction rate. Because land and material costs vary, Habitat house costs vary. Habitat houses are sold at no profit, with no interest charged.
Partnership is the key.
While enjoying the imminent success of the SCI, local partners realize that the initiative will continue as housing needs of its community members evolve. However, the first, significant steps have been taken and a network is now in place that will allow Sumter County to continue to keep its promise of providing housing opportunities for its residents in need.
