Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County is a locally run affiliate
of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian
housing organization. Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County works
in partnership with people in need, to build modest and affordable
housing. The houses are sold at no profit and with no interest. Volunteers
provide some of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide
money and materials to help build Habitat houses. Partner families
themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor, called "sweat equity," into the building of their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage
payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build
more houses.
Our Vision Statement
Building houses in partnership with God's people
in need
Mission Statement
The mission of Habitat for Humanity of McHenry
County is to provide opportunities for home ownership to low income
families or individuals, and to put the reality of substandard housing
in the minds and hearts of McHenry County residents in such a powerful
way that unattainable home ownership for these families or individuals
becomes politically, socially and religiously unacceptable.
