Habitat for Humanity builds and sells affordable housing to low- and moderate-income families. Construction or renovation of each Habitat house is a cooperative effort between volunteers, house sponsors and the buyer(s) of the house. Participating families provide at least 300 hours (called sweat equity) toward building their own and other families' homes. Homes are purchased with a zero-interest equivalent, 20 to 30-year mortgage.
