What Is Habitat?

Habitat for Humanity of Talladega, Inc. is a member of an International Christian organization which works to provide decent housing for people in need. Habitat is based on the premise that people need capital, not charity, to purchase or upgrade their housing. It is one of over 200 such programs in this country. There are over 50 national organizations worldwide. Families who qualify purchase their home at cost (interest free!). They pay the purchase price back over a 20-year period. Since many materials and services are donated, the cost of a Habitat home is lower than conventional housing.
