Building House with Habitat
Oct 29 - Rotarians Sean, Machel, Kyle, David and Harry, Sean's wife Rebecca and mystery guest Mike joined the Habitat regulars to help build a house in Mesa. We built soffits and added roof decking. Very productive day! This is the 5th time we've helped build a Habitat For Humanity house.
Habitat helps low income working families afford a house by accepting their "sweat equity" of 400 work hours as part of the down-payment and by providing a zero interest mortgage. In addition to the homeowners, the houses are built by volunteers. The homeowner buys the house at its appraised value. Lots, subdivison improvements, utility hookups, building materials and tools are initially afforded by contributions from individuals and groups.
