Habitat For Humanity Of Greater Greensboro Inc

Programs: Construction services: we partner with corporations, faith organizations, foundations, individuals and volunteers to build affordable, energy-efficient houses for and with working families who meet ownership requirements. Since families pay the full cost for habitat houses and all future maintenance, we're committed to building affordable, high-quality, energy-efficient and sustainable houses that families are proud to call home. Our new homes meet energy star guidelines established by the u. S. Environmental protection agency, as well as the national green build standard endorsed by the national association of home builders.

family services financing services: this program recruits and selects eligible homeowners and recruits and trains volunteers who provide family support and services. Additionally, it provides affordable mortgage financing for low income residents. Habitat homeowners commit to 350 hours of sweat equity which includes 100 hours of classes on home-maintenance, finance, budgeting, etc. Each year, habitat offers over 80 classes and educates 150 - 170 people each year. Refresher classes are offered to any existing homeowner in the community and focus on home repair, financial wellbeing, nutrition and a wide variety of classes designed to support homeowner success.

restore services: this program sells donated and salvaged building materials, furniture, and appliances to the general public at below market prices, with the net proceeds going towards the support of habitat's mission. The restore program offers deconstruction services to the general public for a fee with any construction materials salvaged from the deconstruction project being sold at the restore.

volunteer services: this program recruits and trains volunteers to assist in the construction of homes, administrative activities in our office, retail tasks in the restore, lunch ministry, and international mission trips. In addition, we make an annual tithe grant to habitat international that supports construction of homes in other countries.
