How does Solano Habitat for Humanity meet the needs of the low-income family?
Habitat, in cooperation with the chosen homeowner, builds a house with volunteer labor and donations of money and material, keeping the cost of building low. Sweat equity hours constitute the down payment for the Habitat house. Habitat houses are affordable for low-income homeowners because there is no profit included in the sale price and no interest charged on the mortgage. Mortgage length is 20 years.
