Habitat for Humanity of Central Lane was founded in 1990 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. We are deeply committed to the belief that all God’s people deserve a decent, affordable place to live. Working with individuals and families, volunteers and dedicated supporters, we build homes, communities and hope.
With our home construction program, low-income families invest in their future with a lot of hard work or “Participation Hours.” Those in the Home Buyer Program must complete a minimum of 200-250 “participation hours” (depending on how many people may be living in the home) prior to moving in. After the house is built with volunteers, our home buyers purchase their home with a low-interest, no-profit loan. Their monthly mortgage payments cycle directly back into the mission of Habitat, allowing us to provide the same life-changing experience for another family. Each Habitat Home Partner receives continued support through education and mentorship.
We also take great pride in the preservation of our existing community neighborhoods. Our Home Repair program, works with low-income homeowners in need of minor exterior home repairs. By bringing these homes back to a decent, livable standard, our families are able to stay at home in a comfortable, safe, familiar environment. Since our founding, Habitat for Humanity of Central Lane has built over 77 homes with 5 more in the process of being built and completed more than 68 minor home repairs. We also offer support to our global partner affiliate in Nicaragua. We welcome people from all walks of life to partner with our program to serve families in need with generosity, humility and love.
