MAUMEE VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Neighborhood revitalization program: through our neighborhood revitalization work, we tailor our efforts by partnering locally with residents, neighborhood coalitions, community leaders and organizations to best address the real concerns of the community and improve the lives of the people who live there. We focus on first understanding the concerns of the residents and then empowering them to lead the projects they want to see. We help to organize "rock the block" events to bring community volunteers together with the residents to clean up parks, remove tires, brush trimming, and light exterior repair and painting projects. Our efforts focus primarily on nrsa neighborhoods in lucas county.

Financial homebuyer education programs: as part of the homeownershipprocess, we believe financial education builds a more solid foundationfor long-term personal success and helps alleviate any concerns orbarriers on the path to homeownership. During these financial educationclasses, we cover topics such as budgeting, credit cards and creditreports, debt and loans, saving, investing, planning for the future,emergency situations, and habitat homeowner mortgages. A more in-depthunderstanding of these important concepts is a tool that can be used tobuild a better future.
