How is the homeowner chosen?

Habitat has a fair and unbiased family selection process and chooses families based on three criteria: need for affordable housing, ability to pay their no-interest mortgage, and willingness to partner with Habitat.

Why should my church participate in the Apostles Build?

•                Provides churches a concrete opportunity to put their faith in action with a project that has a tangible beginning and obtainable end

•                Allows broader community to see what can be accomplished when churches come together irrespective of race, creed, national origin, or denomination

•                Offers people of racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity comfortable ways to exchange ideas, talents, and skills while sharing God’s love

•                Provides an activity that makes a difference not only in the lives of homeowner partners, but in the lives of donors and volunteers

When did we get started?

Construction began August 8, 2009, and the home is scheduled to be completed in early 2010. Builds usually last 5-7 months depending on weather and number of volunteers.
