Habitat for Humanity of Durham

Construction services: the construction program builds and sells affordable homes for low income families using volunteer labor. Services offered include new home construction, gut rehabs of homes in historical areas, and critical and urgent repairs which allow homeowners to avoid eviction and protect the investment in their home. Durham Habitat helps revitalize inner city neighborhoods as we build, sell, and repair homes for low income buyers.

Home owner services & mortgage financing: this program recruits, selects, and stewards eligible applicants for homeownership through the approval and application process to mortgage closing and beyond. The approval process includes attendance at homeowner education classes and performance of sweat equity volunteer work. Each home is sold at near appraised value and an interest-free, affordable mortgage is offered to each homeowner.
