There is no interest on any loan, and Habitat makes no profit from the sales. House costs generally range from $50,000 to $65,000. Sponsors provide cash and volunteers laborers to lower building costs.

• Have a housing need (due to poor conditions, overcrowding, unsafe neighborhood, etc.).
• Have a source of stable income and meet income requirements.
• Be willing to volunteer on a construction site and at the Habitat ReStore, as well as participate in homeowner education classes.
Anyone interested in applying should call the Habitat office at 256-340-9609 to pre-qualify for the meeting.
