Housing Sewanee Inc. was organized in 1993 for the purpose of forming a partnership between those who need new homes to live in on the domain yet cannot afford a down payment or a high monthly mortgage and volunteers who want to work with those people to insure the dream of home ownership. Housing Sewanee Inc. raises the money for the materials.
Volunteers supply a large portion of the labor force.
Owner pays back the money for the building materials at no interest for twenty years. Affordable monthly payment. All other taxes, municipal fees and utility fees are the owners responsibility. I've learned more about the needy than I ever did as a governor, as a candidate, or as a president. I don't know of anything I've seen that more vividly demonstrates love in action than Habitat for Humanity.
