Homeownership program:families in need of a decent place to live build safe and affordable homes in partnership with us. Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family's needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs affordable. By using labor of volunteers and prospective homeowners, employing efficient building methods, keeping house sizes modest, using donated construction materials and appliances, and issuing no-profit loans. Habitat makes its houses affordable for low-income families to purchase. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from instability, stress and fear and encourage self-reliance and confidence. Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. When a house fosters - instead of hinders - health and safety, families can flourish. Owning an affordable home also allows homeowners to lift up career growth. During fiscal year 06/30/2024, habitat city of danville and pittsylvania county served five people through its long-term homeownership program.
