What does Habitat for Humanity Tucson do?
Habitat for Humanity Tucson works to end poverty housing by creating opportunities for homeownership in partnership with low-income families, and by making safe, decent, affordable shelter a matter of community conscience and action. Simply put, we help individuals and families, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, achieve the dream and stability of homeownership. Habitat homes are built through partnerships with the local government, foundations, corporations, faith groups and individuals. Families purchase Habitat homes with a 0% interest mortgage to maintain affordability. The homeowner’s monthly mortgage payments go to Habitat; these proceeds are then reinvested in future homes and generations. Habitat homeowners’ futures brighten with a stable, healthy environment that provides space in which to live, grow and thrive. Communities blossom as neighborhood revitalization increases property values, stabilizes the workforce, lowers crime and fosters civic engagement. For more
