About Habitat
Habitat for Humanity of Washington County provides decent, affordable housing to families in need in Washington County. Habitat is not a giveaway program. Partner families must pay back a no-profit, no-interest mortgage to Habitat with low monthly payments, and must contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” working side-by-side with volunteers and staff. In addition to houses, families are provided skills to be successful, self-sufficient homeowners.
