Community Brief: Chatham Habitat

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Staff

Chatham Habitat for Humanity, in partnership with a private builder as yet unfound, will build 15 affordable homes on land donated by Chatham County. Chatham Habitat was awarded just over $1 million by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fund low-interest mortgages for seven of the 15 homes.

Eight of the 15 will be built by Chatham Habitat in partnership with families earning 25 to 50 percent of local median income. The other seven will be built by a professional builder and sold for $210,000 or less. Chatham Habitat has completed 82 houses since it was started in 1989. Partner families contribute 350 hours of sweat equity and buy the homes with no interest mortgages. For more information, go to www.chathamhabitat.org.
