Building homes for families that are currently in sub-standard housing within a 20 mile area of Wisconsin Rapids. We provide a hand up, not a hand out.

Description:
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, nondenominational, Christian-based housing organization. We work with the local community to build, simple, decent, affordable housing for those who lack adequate shelter. Families are selected on criteria stated on an application.
Volunteer hours or "Sweat equity" make the house affordable, not free.
Each family makes regular monthly mortgage payments at zero interest to HFH.

History:
Wisconsin Rapids Area Habitat for Humanity was organized in 1992. We have completed 11 homes (9 in Wisconsin Rapids and 2 in Nekoosa) and are looking to start building number 12. All churches in the area are encouraged to sign up for a weekend work project.
