Habitat challenges people of

loans to build or renovate simple,
decent homes.
Habitat is a model that fits
Canada and Canadians. Habitat for
Humanity, Huron County, invites
people to become partners by
contributing time, money or
leadership. Assistance will help
reach the goal of eliminating
poverty housing. Individuals also
gain the personal satisfaction of
making a positive difference in the
lives of Huron County area
families, said Kurtz.

communities is as important as
building a home. Each habitat
project attempts to transcend the
boundaries of culture, status and
race through the sharing of a
common goal. By working together
as partners, the affluent and those
in need become aware of their
common heritage, he said.
Based on need, financial status
andk a willingness to participate in
the program, applicants are given a
helping hand — not charity. Long-
term, interest-free mortgages are
provided. Purchasers of Habitat
homes work along with volunteers
in planning and building their own
home, as well as the homes of
others. In this way, participants
learn valuable skills, build
relationships and earn "sweat
equity".
Habitat families are required to
contribute 500 hours of sweat
equity. This represents their down
payment on their home. If an
applicant family is not prepared to
make the contribution, they do not
qualify for Habitat housing
assistance.

selected on the basis of need,
current housing conditions,
