Through volunteer labor, efficient management and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, simple, decent houses are built with families in need. Applicant families work in partnership with Habitat Volunteers to build habitat houses. Habitat houses are sold to these partner families at no profit and financed with affordable, no-interest mortgages. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving fund, which is used to build more houses.

Habitat for Humanity is not a give-away program. In addition to mortgage payments, each homeowner invests hundreds of hours of their own labor, called "sweat equity," into the building of their house and the houses of other habitat partner families.

Call or email for information on volunteering either as a builder (training is provided) or in the business - social operations or designating your donations to support projects in Manatee County.
