Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Columbus Lowndes Habitat has built 38 homes since its founding in 1989.
Habitat houses are built with volunteer labor and sold to partner families, at no profit and with no interest charged. Partner families make a down payment, invest hours of sweat equity into the construction of their homes and pay monthly mortgage payments with no interest on principal plus taxes and insurance.
