Program areas at Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County
The housing program builds and/or renovates simple and affordable homes for low income families in need of decent shelter. Partner families, as they are called, have an annual income of 30-80% of median family income for Lincoln County based on family size. Partner families must also put 500 hours of "sweat equity" into their future home and the homes of others who qualify for the program. The housing program provides families a foundation on which they can build long-term financial security. The impact of home ownership is profound and lasting, improving children's educational performance, employment stability, and life satisfaction. The housing program also includes the critical home repair program or chrp. Those who qualify for chrp receive repairs, renovations, or rehabilitation to/of their homes at no or low cost allowing them to remain in their own homes, in safety. Chrp assistance to homeowners totaled 23,576 in 21/22 plus in-kind contributions of 550.
