Overview of Habitat for Humanity Main goal: to provide clean, decent and stable housing for low income families Families fill out an application and are chosen based on their financial need, along with their commitment to put in hours to build their home. Once their home is built, families receive a 0% interest mortgage.

  10. The week before each build an email will go out asking for Habitat volunteers. There are roughly a dozen spots available for each build, so we will be using a priority system to pick volunteers. The priority system will take into account attendance at GBMs, attendance at executive board meetings, participation in a committee, and willingness to drive. We will try to ensure that all members with a genuine interest in Habitat have the opportunity to go on as many builds as possible. Going on Builds!
