St Lucie Habitat for Humanity

During the fiscal year, St. Lucie Habitat for Humanity helped to provide decent, affordable housing for several families in St. Lucie county though the building or renovating homes. Homes were repaired for elderly, disabled, and veteran citizens who own and occupy their homes. Over 1500 volunteers were mobilized locally to work together to improve the community. Homeowners benefitted from budget counseling and homeownership workshops, and pay low-cost, no-interest mortgages, creating a funding source for future projects. Habitat homeowners send their kids to neighborhood schools, maintain local employment, and contribute to the community and the local economy, all while enjoying the stability that homeownership brings.
