Habitat for Humanity of Johnson County
Habitat for Humanity of Johnson County builds houses in partnership with people in need and then sells the houses to homeowner partners. Homeowners are selected by local volunteers based on; their need for housing, ability to repay a no-profit mortgage and willingness to partner with Habitat. Mortgage payments contribute to the Fund for Humanity, which in turn provides the money to build more houses. Because of Habitat’s no-profit loans and because the houses are principally built by volunteer labor, mortgage payments are affordable for low-income partners.
