Yearly Local Building Project
MISSION STATEMENT
It is our desire to seek out families who are in need of decent, affordable housing who would not have the means to improve their current living conditions. Families will always be chosen based on their level of need, willingness to participate in the “pay it forward program” and their willingness to partner in the building of their home and subsequent homes.
CRITERIA…for the families to be considered
- citizens or legal residents
- employed with a steady income
- monthly income with in minimum and maximum limits
- be willing to work specific jobs assigned on building site
- make timely monthly payments on their “pay it forward” account
- financial counseling if necessary

- volunteer at fundraising events
- donation of private funds

SIMPLE, DECENT, AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Decent -quality construction
Simple –homes large enough to accommodate the family but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs to a minimum
Affordable -each family will be required to “pay it forward”
That amount will be assessed according to the family’s income
PAY IT FORWARD PROGRAM
- based on monthly income, they will be required to pay a certain portion back into the organization to help fund the next home to be built
- this amount will be set up as a no interest loan extended over a period of 7 years
