| Linden Place, Danbury CT |
Housatonic Habitat for Humanity announced that it will begin the search for two deserving families to help build and then own and occupy two homes to be constructed on Linden Place in Danbury, CT. Both homes will have three bedrooms and 1 ½ baths. Families interested in being considered for either home are invited to attend any one of the three informational meetings in October. The dates and times are as follows: Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. All meetings will be held at St. James Church on West Street in Danbury. (Applicants should use the Terrace Place driveway entrance). The homes are available to first-time homeowners. Household income between $40,000 and $65,000 will be needed to qualify for the mortgage. Those attending the informational meetings will learn about our local chapter and how to become a Habitat homeowner." Homeowner applications will also be available at these sessions.
Families are selected based on three criteria: need, the willingness to invest 400 hours of "sweat" equity into the building of their home, and a commitment to "partner" with Habitat in promoting the future endeavors of the affiliate.
Habitat does not give away houses. It sells them to families who ordinarily would not qualify for a conventional mortgage. The selected families will enter into a 30 year, no interest mortgage. Families interested will need to live or work in the area served by the affiliate.
Housatonic Habitat has built 20 homes in its affiliate area which includes the towns of New Canaan, Wilton, Weston, Redding, Ridgefield, Danbury, Bethel, Brookfield, New Fairfield, Newtown, Sherman, Gaylordsville, New Milford, Bridgewater, Roxbury and Washington. Habitat for Humanity has built approximately 400,000 homes world-wide.
Housatonic Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. HHFH seeks to eliminate poverty housing from sixteen towns in western Connecticut and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. In view of that vision, HHFH mobilizes the local community to provide responsible home ownership opportunities to deserving families with limited income.
