How Habitat Works Habitat for Humanity provides life changing help for people who need it most by creating a partnership between qualified families and Habitat's financial and volunteer resources. Families selected for partnership must provide 500 hours of sweat equity toward their new houses. Recipients help build more houses by making monthly mortgage payments which go into the building fund.
Volunteers come from a variety of places including church, civic, business and youth groups.
By working together, they are turning the dream of safe, secure housing for all people into reality.
