Habitat's 200th Home

The North Central Georgia chapter of Habitat for Humanity recently completed its 200th home, 16 of which have been in Forsyth county over the past five years.

The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by constructing and building adequate and basic housing.

Habitat homeowners purchase their homes from the organization. Owners must have an income in order to be able to afford the mortgage. Habitat homeowners are vital members of the community. They are teaching assistants, grocery store employees, police officers, administrative assistants, carpenters, janitors, hospital workers, bus drivers, etc. Their mortgage payments help pay for more Habitat homes.

Refer to the Habitat North Central GA chapter website for more details.
