What does a Habitat house cost a partner family?
Habitat houses are sold to low-income families at no profit, and no interest is charged on the mortgage. Mortgage length varies from 15 to 30 years. House costs are kept low by using locally contributed materials and volunteer labor. A typical Habitat home in Sheboygan County costs $55,000. Additionally, partner families are required to invest up to 500 hours of “sweat equity” into the construction of their home or another Habitat home.
