Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany
Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West has served the west St. Tammany parish community since 1981, creating 199 affordable new homes with low-income families. Homes are created with volunteer labor and community funding, then sold to HFHSTW HomeBuyers with zero-interest mortgage loans. Each HomeBuyer participates in financial education programs and contributes some 400 hours of "sweat-equity."
Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building 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.
Habitat is a grassroots Christian nonprofit organization dedicated to the elimination of poverty and substandard housing worldwide. Habitat believes that every person deserves, at least, a simple and decent place in which to live and grow into all that God intends for them to be.
