01What it does

What Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta Inc does

Mission

Habitat for humanity of northwest metro atlanta, inc. Is an affiliate of the americus-based habitat for humanity international. Habitat for humanity of northwest metro atlanta, inc. Is an ecumenical, christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing in cobb, douglas, and paulding counties, georgia through the construction of decent, affordable homes in partnership with hard-working low income families.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Houses built for low to moderate income people, sold at cost with no interest. In 2024, nine (9) new homes were built, twelve (12) home repairs were completed for veterans, and four (4) home repairs were completed for seniors. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. In 2020, habitat began offering existing homeowners temporary mortgage relief that covers escrow deficiences or supports operational costs due to mortgage payment shortfalls. With our help, habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families. A habitat home is a strong foundation for a family, an opportunity on which they can build a better life. Strong and stable homes help build strong and stable communities. Nw metro atlanta homes are built by volunteers with oversight provided by our construction department, trained house leaders and crew leaders. Our craftsman-style homes have planned "streetscape" landscaping. The homes have three or four bedrooms and two baths; the average size is approximately 1450 to 1600 square feet.
