About Habitat for Humanity of Union County Our Vision A world where everyone has a decent place to live. Our Mission Statement Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Does Habitat give homes away? NO...Habitat builds simple, decent, affordable homes for low income families, without regard to race, gender, creed, marital status, religion, age, or national origin. We provide a hand-up, not a hand out. Habitat sells homes at no profit to families who could not otherwise afford a home. What is simple, decent, affordable housing? Typically a three bedroom/one bath home of 1100 square feet sells for about $64,000. Over the life of a 20 year no-interest mortgage. This works out to approximately $500 a month which includes taxes and insurance. At closing, the family must also pay a down payment of $1200. Where does Habitat of Union County get its funding? Funding comes from individual and corporate gifts and pledges, groups, churches, and fund raising events. “In-kind” donations of goods and services are also encouraged to defray the cost of construction. Most funds are raised locally. Habitat will accept assistance from the government for infrastructure needs, administration, and acquisition of property as long as the funds do not limit the ability of Habitat to provide housing.
