Habitat
International has built over 300,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people in more than 3,000 communities
with safe, decent, affordable homes. HFHI was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller with his wife, Linda. The York Affiliate
of Habitat for Humanity has constructed and rehabilitated 92 houses in York County since its inception in 1985, placing over
300 individuals in homes of their own. Because of Habitat’s commitment to the selection and education process, only
one home – out of the 92 - has been lost to foreclosure.

How The Habitat Program
Works Habitat
partner families and individuals are active participants in YHFH's work, investing many "sweat equity" hours
over time by helping to build their homes, volunteering in various capacities, and helping YHFH help others. Partners make minimal down payments; go through financial
counseling and basic homeownership skills training; perform the aforementioned "sweat equity" hours; and make monthly
principal payments, typically over 30 years, on zero-interest mortgages that are at, or below, the cost of building or renovating
the homes. Our Community Partners
Habitat is only able to provide this incredible opportunity through the generosity of the community. Habitat
donors provide materials, in-kind services (for items that require professional licensing and specific skills), labor, funds,
publicity venues, and prayers to see that costs are minimized and opportunities are magnified.
