One of the most common misconceptions about Habitat for Humanity in Pope County Arkansas is that our houses are given away. This is not the case: in fact, all of our homes are sold to qualifying families in our communities! Our goal is to be an affordable option for those who would otherwise not be in a position to realize the dream of home ownership. These factors make the houses affordable to qualifying people worldwide.
Houses are sold at no profit, with no interest charged on the mortgage.
Homeowners and volunteers build the houses under trained supervision, cutting the cost of the homes back significantly.
Local individuals, corporations, faith groups, and others provide financial support.
Homeowner families are chosen according to their need, their ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest mortgage, and their willingness to work in partnership with Habitat. Habitat for Humanity Pope County Arkansas does not discriminate according to race, religion, gender, sexuality or family size. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner, or – as we call them – “partner families”. Upon the completion of construction, Habitat sells the homes to the partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. Every mortgage payment goes directly back into the Fund for Habitat for Humanity Pope County Arkansas (HFHPCA) to continue building homes in Pope County. Again, Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to covering their closing costs and making their monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor before even moving into their homes.
Habitat for Humanity of Pope County strives to create a solution for various families within our community the opportunity of owning their own home. We do this through a cooperative effort of local volunteers that work hand-in-hand with our future homeowners to work together in the construction process of building their home.
We are not about giving handouts, but rather providing you with the tools you need to earn a handup. It's the core of the very foundation we have in place to enable us to create a sustainable home for your family.
Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations (including Habitat for Humanity of Pope County) will not proselytize. Nor will Habitat for Humanity work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as a part of their work they do with and for us. This means that Habitat for Humanity of Pope County will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
