Habitat for Humanity is an independent charity dedicated to building affordable housing for low-income families. Homes are built with the help of volunteers and homeowners, keeping contractor costs to a minimum and giving people the opportunity to learn some construction skills. Each homeowner family is required to contribute a minimum of 500 hours of their own labour. Houses are sold to the families at no profit with affordable mortgages, repaid over 20 years.
