Habitat for Humanity of Goldsboro-Wayne

Habitat is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry partnering with community volunteers to assist families with a housing needs. Habitats primary program provides those families with homeownership opportunities in its service area. Since its inception in 2001, Habitat has completed more than 100 new homes. It seeks to build 6 or more homes per year. It sells the homes to pre-qualified, low- to moderate-income families who have actively participated in the construction process. Financing for new homeowners is layered to achieve affordability and includes third-party low-interest loans, interest-free Habitat loans, and forgivable down payment assistance loans. Habitat also provides home repairs for low- to moderate-income homeowners in its service area. Repairs are typically under 10,000 and are 75 subsidized by Habitat. Repayment of the remaining 25 is paid by the homeowner either upfront or over time but with no lien placed on the property.
