Mariposa Democratic Club November Meeting – Habitat for HumanityOrganized in 2006, Habitat for Humanity of Mariposa County is an independently operated affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. They are a non-profit, Christian, housing ministry dedicated to making shelter a matter of conscience. Building relationships and community is as important to them as building homes.
The essential building blocks of the Habitat program are volunteer labor and donated materials, which are utilized in the building of simple, decent homes. Habitat homes are sold to partner families on a no-profit basis, with 0% interest mortgages. HFH of Mariposa Co. generally holds the mortgage for 20 to 30 years. Payments are recycled to finance more housing through our Revolving Fund for Humanity.
They have built several homes already, and are actively seeking land for the next one. Along with building homes, they also help families in a variety of ways: entry door replacement, yard cleanup for fire safety, and deck work for safety issue. To learn more about the work Habitat for Humanity of Maripsa County has done here in our county, come to the meeting!
