Core Principles

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Locally, HFH of Simpson County has built and rehabilitated 16 properties. We are currently working on a build at 510 Jefferson Street that will be our 17th house. Lisa Detherage and Lois Adams have been selected as our partner family for that project.

The Core Principles of Habitat for Humanity home ownership program is unique. It is based on our core principles:

Christian Ministry

Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian Ministry.

Habitat is a Partnership

We believe low-income families need capital, not charity. Habitat provides a 'hand-up, not hand-out' that promotes an atmosphere of partnership with volunteers and homeowners.

No Profit, No Interest

Our Habitat homes are sold under the terms of no-profit construction and no-interest mortgages.

Homeowner Selection

The criteria for selecting families is based on need for adequate shelter, ability to pay and willingness to partner. When selecting homeowners, we do not discriminate against religion, race or ethnic background. All applicable federal and state laws regarding mortgages are followed.

Sweat Equity

We believe in sweat equity, the principle of families helping to build their own homes and the homes of others. Families can recruit friends to help with some of their sweat equity hours.

How We Do It

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are recycled back to HFHSC to help us build more houses.
