Habitat for Humanity, of Central Lane was founded in 1990 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Working with individuals and families, volunteers and dedicated supporters, we build homes, communities and hope. With our Homeownership Program, hard-working families and individuals invest in their futures with a lot of hard work as they become homeowners. Households complete up to 500 “sweat equity” hours (depending on household configuration) prior to moving in. After the house is built with volunteers, our homebuyers purchase their home with an affordable, no-profit loan. Their monthly mortgage payments cycle directly back into the mission of Habitat allowing us to provide the same life-changing experience for another family. Each Habitat Homeowner receives continued support after becoming a homeowner through education and mentorship. We take great pride in the preservation of our existing community neighborhoods. Our Exterior Home Repair program, A Brush With Kindness, works with low-income homeowners who are veterans, seniors, and/or people with disabilities in need of minor exterior home repairs. By bringing these homes back to a decent, livable standard, our families are able to stay at home, in a comfortable, safe, familiar environment. Our ReStore provides the community with a place to volunteer and a place to donate and shop for new and gently used building materials. All donations and sales from the ReStore contribute to the cause of providing a safe, decent and affordable home for everyone!
