Are Habitat houses only built for minorities?
No, Habitat doesn’t build houses FOR anyone. We build houses WITH people in need, without regard to race. Three criteria drive the family selection process: need, ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest mortgage over a 15-30 year period, and a willingness to partner with Habitat. Habitat is prohibited by federal law-the Fair Housing Act-from discriminating on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, family and marital status, age or handicap. Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity requires partner families to be residing legally in the U.S.
