Habitat F H. LaSalle, Bureau,& Putnam County
We are finishing our 9th house at the present time. We cover LaSalle, Bureau, and Putnam counties. Our plans are to build in Ottawa and Granville next year. We just finished one house in Princeton and are working on one in Spring Valley now.
We can revovate homes but have mostly built small decent affordable homes for persons/famlies that are between 30% and 60% of the median income for the county in which we build.
We partner with churches, businesses, and individuals to accomplish our goals.
We get volunteer help and provide a no interest loan to the chosen person/family. Our criteria are need, willingness to partner with us, and ability to pay.
Habitat works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life to develop communities with people in need by building and revovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God's love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
