Habitat for Humanity - Lake City Columbia Co HFH of

The organization coordinates donors and volunteers to build homes for low- income families in the Lake city/columbia County area under the guidelines of the international Habitat for Humanity. Families are required to provide 'sweat equity' by working on projects. Hours required are generally at least 350, but can be reduced pending board approval under special circumstances. The family must meet minimum credit standards to qualify for a no interest mortgage on a home. The organization uses the mortgage repayment and other donations to build houses for other qualifying families. Homes repossessed for delinquent accounts are renovated for resale and may be rented while a qualified partner family or buyer is located.
