Habitat for Humanity of Tuscarawas Valley, Inc. (HFHTV) is a nonprofit, Christian based housing ministry. We Build simple, Decent and affordable homes in partnership with those in need. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate poverty housing conditions in the Tuscarawas Valley.
|
Our mission is based on a partnership with the families that
are selected to participate. Habitat houses are not simply a
"giveaway". Not only does the family make a monetary
down payment and monthly mortgage payments, they are
also required to put in hundreds of "sweat equity" hours
involving physical labor during construction, as well as
other education and training.
This education may involve issues such as home
maintenance, insurance or budgeting.
The "sweat equity" investment, as well as monetary
payment, gives the partner family a true sense of pride
through home ownership.
This is vital to the continued maintenance of the home and
allows Habitat to form a supportive relationship with the
partner families long after moving day.
