When selected into our program, our families are part of the very foundation of building their home. This includes: the 'sweat-equity' requirements (225 hours on-site); successful completion of our Cornerstone Training Program; selection of light fixtures; selection of carpet colors, cabinet colors, and countertops. In addition, our Partner Families attend and participate in special events and outreach opportunities, serving as 'Habitat Ambassadors;' reaching out to others to share their story. This partnership allows our homeowners to become deeply involved not just in the building of their own homes, but also future Habitat homes.
