Through shelter, we empower.
Florence Habitat partners with families who need a safe, affordable place to live. Each family has their own story and the needs vary with each partnership. Once selected, we work with each family in depth to help them be successful, long term homeowners.
We partner with individuals and families each step of the way, from application through construction, to when the keys are handed over and conintue our partnership through the first year of homeownership. We help with education on the various responsibilities of homeownership, person finances, mortgages, maintenance and upkeep of homes, and so much more. We develop a personal relationship together because in the end, we want our families to be successful.
