Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas

Seeking to put god's love into action, Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas (hhca) brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Hhca provides opportunities for low-income individuals and families to own quality, affordable homes. Since 1989, hhca has built or renovated over 230 homes locally and has served an additional 830 families by repairing their existing homes through our neighborhood revitalization program. Hhca has also served 50 international families through our global tithe program. Hhca annually selects Central Arkansas homeowners by considering each applicant's housing need, ability to afford homeownership, and willingness to partner, including 300 hours of sweat equity. At program completion, homeowners purchase their home, constructed partially with volunteer labor and donated materials, through a mortgage provided by hhca at 0% interest. All new hhca homes meet or exceed energy star standards. As one source of funding, hhca operates a restore, a home improvement store and donation center selling new and gently used furniture, appliances, home goods, building materials, and more to the public at a fraction of the retail price.
