MORE HOMES, MORE HOPE
Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity (RVHFH), an affiliate of
Habitat for Humanity International,
is committed to improving
the lives of low-income families throughout Somerset
and Hunterdon
counties by helping them build and buy their own
simple, decent homes. Habitat offers families a hand up,
not a hand out. Every partner family devotes at least 250 hours
of “sweat equity” to help build their home
or a neighbor’s home
and secures a 0% mortgage provided by Habitat. Habitat supports
partner families
with training in budgeting, home and landscape
maintenance, and how to be a good neighbor.
175 people are now
living in 44 homes built by RVHFH.
