LHBCF and Habitat for Humanity
Home Builders Association of Lincoln’s Sixteenth Home for Habitat for Humanity Address: 1601 SW 27th Street, Lincoln Family: Murat & Zahra Khalaf and their three children Scheduled for Fall 2012
HBAL has committed to once again build a home for Habitat for Humanity. We need to get your commitment with this project. We need new volunteers and the continued support and assistance of those who have helped in the past. The benefits of helping with this project cannot always be measured. However, we do know that we will be providing a safe and decent home for a family whose whole life will change once they have a place to call their own. Everyone needs a place to call home.
Volunteers Needed Volunteers are needed for this worthwhile project. We need volunteers from the trades...so please let us know what you would be willing to do. Remember, you don’t have to be an “expert” to assist with this project. We also need people to wash windows, paint, clean, and many other tasks that don’t require a certification. Our goal is to complete the home in a two to three week build. It’s a great feeling to work on a Habitat house.
Donations Needed We need donations of materials. If you can assist in this manner, please contact us. This is a worthwhile project, and your donations are very much appreciated and tax deductible.
“Habitat is a hand-up, not a hand-out. Each family is required to make a monthly mortgage payment that pays back the cost of the Habitat house which averages about $70,000. Typically, the 30 year loan requires monthly payments of about $450-$500 with approximately $250 being applied to tax and insurance escrow. Additionally, the family must provide 400 hours of “sweat equity” to Habitat; at least 200 hours must be on their own house. The family is also expected to take part in various Habitat functions throughout the year.” -Dan Walker, Community Service Chairman.
