Housatonic Habitat for Humanity builds strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Housatonic Habitat mobilizes the local community to provide home ownership opportunities to qualified households with moderate income. We: - Teach financial literacy and homeowner skills that enable income-constrained adults to improve self-sufficiency. - Mentor prospects in developing a family budget, to set long-term financial goals, and improve their credit history. - Build and/or renovate affordable homes with volunteer construction crews and donated materials. - Sell homes below market value with an affordable mortgage to qualified homeowners. - Mobilize the community to support the increase of affordable housing in our region.
