Habitat for Humanity

Monthly Mission Focus – Habitat for Humanity

In Indiana, the average hourly wage necessary to afford a two‐bedroom unit is $14.03; more than half of Hoosier renters cannot afford the fair market rate, according to an Indiana 211 Partnership Community Report. Research shows that our homeownership program leads to benefits beyond housing, including improved mental health, a decreased reliance on social services, and improved academic achievement of children.

Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity unites the community with people in need to provide the life-changing opportunity to purchase and own simple, quality, affordable homes. Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
