HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF BOONE COUNTY HOUSES ARE MODESTLY SIZED. THEY ARE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE FAMILY NEEDS OF THE HOMEOWNER, BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO KEEP CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS AFFORDABLE. BY USING THE LABOR OF VOLUNTEERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS, EMPLOYING EFFICIENT BUILDING METHODS, KEEPING THE HOUSE SIZE MODEST, USING DONATED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND APPLIANCES, AND ISSUING NO-PROFIT LOANS, HABITAT MAKES ITS HOUSES AFFORDABLE FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES TO PURCHASE AND ALLOWS FAMILIES TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS, INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY, AND PROVIDE FOR FUTURE GROWTH. AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP HELPS CREATE THE CONDITIONS THAT ALLEVIATE FAMILIES FROM INSTABILITY STRESS AND FEAR AND ENCOURAGE SELF -RELIANCE AND CONFIDENCE. MORTGAGES ARE STRUCTURED SO THAT FAMILIES PAY LESS THAN 28% OF THEIR MONTHLY INCOME TOWARD HOUSING COSTS. STUDIES SHOW THAT STRONG AND STABLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. WHEN A HOME FOSTERS - INSTEAD OF HINDERS - HEALTH AND SAFETY, FAMILIES CAN FLOURISH. OWNING AN AFFORDABLE HOME ALSO ALLOWS HOMEOWNERS TO LIFT UP THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY BY SAVING FOR THEIR FUTURES AND INVESTING IN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, BOLSTERING JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREER GROWTH. DURING 2024, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF BOONE COUNTY SERVED 3 ADULTS AND 7 CHILDREN THROUGH ITS LONG TERM HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM.
