Building
Houses - Building Hope
Through
volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat
builds simple, decent and affordable houses with the help
of the homeowner (partner) families.
Transforming
Lives & Communities
Since
its founding in 1985 (First Affiliation in Oklahoma), our
Local Chapter of Habitat for Humanity and its supporters have built
27 homes for Enid, Oklahoma families.
Providing
No-Profit Mortgages
Our
program is designed to make home ownership possible for low-income
families that don't qualify for traditional loans, but have
demonstrated the ability to repay a Habitat mortgage and
are in urgent need of a safe, decent place to live.

Promoting
Dignity and Self-Reliance
Habitat
houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed
with zero interest mortgages. The homeowners' monthly mortgage
payments are used to build still more Habitat houses. Habitat
offers a hand up, not a hand out.
Promoting
Sustainable Development
As
an authorized affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, our office coordinates
all aspects of Habitat home building in the Enid, OK area,
including fundraising, building site selection, partner family
selection and support, house construction and mortgage servicing.

Building
Leadership and Teamwork
In addition to
the monthly mortgage payment, partner families invest 350 hours
of their own labor - sweat equity - into building their home
and the homes of others.

It takes a special
kind of student who prefers spending their Spring Break building
a new home and building new friendships instead of heading
off to a Florida beach with the masses of other students.
