Honolulu Habitat For Humanity
About Us :
Honolulu Habitat for Humanity (HHH) is a grass-roots organization affiliated with the worldwide movement of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). Our goal is to use local resources (both labor and financial support) to eliminate poverty housing on Oahu. We recruit help from individuals, churches, and businesses who work together in equal partnership with families in need.
How does HHH accomplish its goal
Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds homes with the help of the homeowners. Houses are sold at no profit to partnering families, and no-interest mortgages are issued over a fixed period. Currently, a Habitat house on Oahu costs approximately $85,000. Small monthly payments, including mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance are repaid over 20 years and deposited into a revolving Fund for Humanity which supports the construction of more homes.
