rdable housing and refurbish old houses for with. Habitat's
purpose is to provide home ownership for low-income families who could
not afford it otherwise. This helps destroy the cycle of poverty
and further enriches our communities. However, Habitat is not a giveaway program. In
exchange for zero-interest, non-profit mortgages for the new homeowners,
Habitat homeowner families are required to contribute 400 hours, called
sweat equity, working on their own and other Habitat houses. We
will be working with the Dallas Habitat for Humanity organization to
build houses in our area.
