Pensacola Habitat for Humanity

Description

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

Habitat builds energy efficient, quality homes and sells them to eligible low income families at cost with a no interest loan. The homes are not given away. They make no profit on the homes we build and mortgage payments are used to build more homes.

Habitat for Humanity offers a long-term solution, not a quick-fix, to the problem of affordable housing. The organization makes home ownership possible for families who would not otherwise qualify for a conventional mortgage. In the process of building new homes, Habitat has cleaned up lots previously used for illegal dumping and has torn down dilapidated structures, making neighborhoods safer and cleaner.

History

Founded in 1981, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, Christian ministry whose purpose is to build homes and improve communities in partnership with low income families in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. Since they started, over 1,000 families have purchased homes through our programs.
