Make a Difference with Manitowoc County Habitat for Humanity
Building Houses. Building Hope. Building Partnerships.
Manitowoc County Habitat for
Humanity is a local affiliate for Habitat for Humanity International and coordinates all aspects of Habitat
home building in Manitowoc County fundraising, building site selection, family selection and support, house
construction and mortgage servicing. It is an ecumenical Christian ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and create affordable
housing in safe and stable environments.
Habitat is not a give away program.
Rather, homeowners are actively participating in the building project at various levels. The houses are sold to
families at no profit and are financed with affordable, interest free mortgages. In addition to a down payment
and monthly mortgage payments, homeowner families invest hundreds of hours of their own labor sweat equity
into the building of their own Habitat home. Their labor reduces the cost of the homes,
increases the pride in ownership, allows families to learn skills that help them maintain their homes, and
transforms them into positive, active, giving members of their community.
Houses are built using volunteer labor
and private funds raised from the support of local businesses, churches, individual donors and fundraising events.
The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments also go into a revolving fund that is used to build more houses.

We invite you to partner with us —
whether that involves swinging a hammer or serving on one of our committees. When people come together, the results
are amazing!
