The Habitat for Humanity of Paris/Henry County helps low-income individuals and families build and purchase homes with a zero percent APR interest mortgage rate. It’s mission is to seek to put God’s love in action by bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Once a year, using many volunteers, they build a house for a qualifying family. The program is considered a hand up, not a hand out. The qualifying family must be willing to partner with Habitat for Humanity. If chosen an applicant must complete at least 400 hours of sweat equity towards the building of their habitat home.
For more information on volunteering, helping with Habitat, or to donate supplies for a current Habitat house, contact President Hank Rendleman at 731-336-8967.
