Heartland Habitat for Humanity

 

Heartland Habitat for Humanity's mission is to build simple, decent homes and communities in partnership with God's people in need, while following biblical principles. Established in 2006, Heartland Habitat was formed by the merger of Kaw Valley Habitat for Humanity and Northland Habitat for Humanity. Since 1987, the two Habitat affiliates have built over 215 homes in Wyandotte, Leavenworth and Johnson counties in Kansas and Clay and Platte counties in Missouri.

How They Do It
Heartland Habitat for Humanity builds homes using volunteer labor, donated funds and donated materials. The homes are sold to qualifying partner families with no profit and affordable 0% interest loans. Mortgage payments are invested back into the program, helping to build additional new homes across Heartland's target areas. Homeowners are required to invest 350 hours of sweat equity in the construction of their homes, partnering with other families and completing homeowner education classes. Approximately 70% of Heartland Habitat's construction is completed by volunteers. Much of the building material is donated or provided at reduced cost.
