DuPage Habitat for Humanity

Dupage Habitat works in partnership with future homeowners and the community. Dupage Habitat helps families achieve or preserve the dream of homeownership by either building new or rehabilitating existing homes, and providing an affordable mortgage where no more than 30% of the household income is used for a house payment, taxes and insurance. Homes match the community they are in to maintain or increase surrounding home values. Like every builder, Dupage Habitat homes must conform with all local building codes and must pass inspections to ensure quality construction and liveability. While building in a community, varying levels of neighborhood revitalization occur through collaborative efforts with local community representatives in areas such as education, economic development, public safety, neighborhood involvement and pride, as well as activities for youth and seniors.
