CHARLOTTE COUNTY HABITAT
Charlotte County Habitat is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities, and hope. Our affiliate is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child should have a place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.

Since 1987, Charlotte County Habitat has helped over 580 Charlotte County families achieve the dream of home ownership and this year we plan to help an additional 28 qualified partners achieve their dream. Our homeowner program success rate is 97%, and we continue to reinvest 91 cents of every donated dollar into our programs.

Charlotte County Habitat homes are sold at an affordable price to qualified applicants who meet our program criteria, who have been selected by the Selection Committee and who have been approved by our Board of Directors. Partners repay the cost of the home through a zero-interest loan which enables Habitat to build more homes for deserving families. Our applicants must have a need for affordable housing, the ability to pay their mortgage and the willingness to partner with Charlotte County Habitat and complete the program requirements.

Charlotte County Habitat raises funds locally by partnering with individuals, businesses, government agencies, and churches and is not supported financially by Habitat for Humanity International.
