HOW HABITAT WORKS
Families apply to our Homeownership Program. Families must currrenty be living in substandard housing, have a steady income, and be willing to partner with East Mississippi Habitat.
Sponsors and donors contribute financial resources which allow us to purchase the tools and materials necessary to build or rehabilitate a home
Volunteers help build homes alongside families currently in the program and with the assistance of our full-time construction supervisor. No previous experience or skill is required
Future homeowners who are accepted into the program prepare for homeownership by completing 250 hours of sweat hours including completing financial literacy classes to help manage debt and budget for the future.
New homes are sold to families through an affordable, 20, 25 or 30-year, no interest mortgage.
Paying it forward. Homeowner mortgages are then reinvested in future NEMS Habitat homes, helping even more families achieve affordable homeownership.
