House Sponsorship

The objective of House Sponsorship is to help alleviate sub-standard housing by providing a house that is affordable for a low-income family to purchase.

Qualified families meet three criteria: the need to get out of substandard housing, the ability to pay a mortgage and willingness to volunteer 500 hours of sweat equity.

Adding an affordable home to help alleviate the affordable housing shortage will have a great impact on Coastal Fairfield County. The homes we have built have not

only revitalized and stabilized neighborhoods, creating safer environments, but

perhaps more importantly, have created productive citizens who have been

given a hand-up rather than a hand-out.

For our homeowner partners, 23% have experienced improved health, 35% saw an improvement in their children's grades, 58% experienced less family conflict,

and 68% had improved their financial position considerably when they moved into

their Habitat home.
