POSITION SUMMARY: Our mission- Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. We aim to build affordable housing through a combination of volunteer labor, ‘sweat equity’ and no-interest mortgages. We act in partnership with the community as a diverse group including individuals, partner families, faith groups, civic organizations, local schools and businesses. We reach out from Christian roots across denominational, faith, economic, and racial lines to bring together people who are concerned for their neighbors. We strive to develop and empower individuals and communities through the construction of decent, safe homes.
Our construction regulars are a crucial part in building homes for our homeownership program. Habitat provides a 0% interest mortgage to qualifying applicants and supports them on their journey of becoming homeowners. We are looking for volunteers who have knowledge and skills in construction to assist our team on a regular basis as we work on new builds and rehabilitations on existing homes.
