"A Hand Up not a Hand
Out"
Enid
Habitat for Humanity
is a community-based
organization which strives
to provide housing for
low-income families in Enid. This is
accomplished through
rehabilitation of existing structures, new
construction, and
interest-free loans.
Habitat's
goal is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness
from the world, and to
make decent shelter
a matter of conscience
and action.
______________________
You may be of assistance
to
Habitat by volunteering your time on construction, or by
your
tax deductible donation of money or by
giving items to our
Restore @ 817 W. Maine.
(Open everyother Friday from 10 -
5)
All proceeds go to building or remodeling homes,
we
have no clerical staff expenses.
______________________
How are families selected?
Families in need of decent shelter
apply at the Habitat office. Where you must complete a
Pre-application Questionnaire in order to be considered for a
Homeowner Application.
The Family Selection Committee chooses
homeowners based on their level of need, their willingness to become
partners in the program and their ability to repay the no-interest
loan.
Habitat does not review applications
like a bank. Most individuals chosen would not be approved for
a bank loan.
Habitat provides a Family Nurture
program which provides financial advice and helps the family become
responsible citizens.
Habitat is not a give-away program. As
mentioned above, homeowners must make monthly mortgage payments on a
no-interest loan, for the value of the home over 15 - 20
years.
Prior to consideration for a
Habitat home, the homeowner family must invest 300 hours of sweat
equity on Habitat projects.
