Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties has served nearly 900 homeowner partners since 1985. Volunteers and future homeowners construct the homes, which are sold with a zero-interest loan. Habitat homeowner candidates earn 30 to 80 percent of the area median income. Candidates must demonstrate the need for adequate shelter; the ability to pay back a zero-interest loan and the willingness to partner with Habitat to complete a robust homebuyer education curriculum and invest 350 to 450 “sweat equity” hours. Mortgage monies are used to build even more homes, making each donation to Habitat a perpetual legacy to the community. Habitat believes that homeownership contributes to family stability, leading, in turn, to community stability.
Purpose
Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties empowers individuals and families to build and buy their own homes with the help of people in our community. Homes are sold with a 0% interest mortgage to households who do not qualify for a traditional mortgage.
