Mission: Habitat for humanity of monroe county, inc (hfh) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to eliminating the cycle of poverty by partnering with local families to build simple, decent, affordable housing. Families pay interest-free mortgages for their homes, which are built for a lower cost because of the use of volunteer labor and donations from the community. Families qualify for habitat's home ownership program by meeting three basic criteria:-need for housing-all families demonstrate that they are currently living in substandard or unaffordable housing and cannot qualify for another program or traditional home loan. -ability to pay-homeowners must be able to pay their affordable, 0% interest mortgage as well as their other expenses. Their income should fall between 25-70% of the area's median income. -willingness to partner-each adult who will live in the habitat home is required to invest a minimum of 250 hours of sweat equity. Sweat equity includes taking mandatory home ownership
