Open House Details:

Experience: Explore the beautifully designed home, meet the homeowner and Habitat representatives, and learn about the transformative impact of affordable homeownership.

The homeownership program is a hand-up for families that would not have otherwise been able to own a home. All homeowners in the program are vetted through an application process. The chosen homeowner is required to commit 250 sweat equity hours and will have a mortgage at the end of the building process.

Habitat for Humanity says it is about to provide these affordable homes because of a collaboration with local partners, volunteers, and generous donors – saying “These homes provide stability, pride, and a brighter future for Livingston County families. We invite the community to celebrate this milestone with us”.
