Mission: Create affordable housing by bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Programs: In partnership with our community, Habitat Seminole-Apopka has built and renovated almost 250 homes since our inception in 1991. Individuals, foundations, corporations, faith organizations, government and associations provide generous gifts to address poverty housing and provide hope. In addition to generous gifts, resources, land and talent, 1,637 volunteers provided over 28,000 hours of service with a value of over $600,000. We also have a strong family services support and education program. All Future Homebuyers attend a series of classes on topics such as family finances and budgeting, property tax and insurance needs, yard maintenance, home repair, and predatory lending. This program allows for a well-educated homeowner and helps minimize mortgage default. Homeownership and education provide an important step toward helping people break the cycle of poverty.
