Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, NC changes lives by bringing together God's people and resources to help families in need build and own quality affordable homes in safe and supportive communities.Habitat invites people from all walks of life to work together in partnership to build houses with families. Habitat for Humanity is not a charity or a give-away program. Habitat for Humanity offers homeownership to Orange County families who otherwise may not have the opportunity to own a home of their own. Volunteer labor is used to build homes to keep costs low for Habitat families. Families pay closing costs and invest 325 hours of labor into building their own homes and the homes of others. Habitat provides a zero-interest mortgage ranging between $75,000 and $120,000 and homeowners pay monthly mortgage payments of around $615 directly to Habitat. As Habitat homeowners pay their mortgages, the money is used to help build homes with other families. Habitat for Humanity of Orange County also contributes to building Habitat homes overseas by tithing a 'home for a home.' For every home built in Orange County, HHOC tithes $4,500, the cost to build a Habitat home internationally. Since our start in 1984, HHOC has built more than 200 homes locally and more than 140 homes internationally.
