Homeowner Opportunities

Habitat for Humanity is a partnership where families are involved in all aspects of building their future. In addition to an escrow deposit, Habitat for Humanity partner families are required to invest 300 hours of "sweat equity".  Homeowner mortgage payments are paid into a revolving fund which helps support the construction of new homes.  Please  click here  to go to our website to view additional information.

We invite you to attend a Homeowner Information Meeting at our office, located at 1750 Manzana Avenue, PG. Upcoming monthly meeting dates are scheduled at 2:30 p.m. on 
January 9 and February 13.  

Call 941-639-3162 to reserve a space.
