Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio

Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio is an ecumenical Christian non-profit housing organization working in partnership with God's people in need to build modest, decent and affordable houses without interest or profit, thereby witnessing God's love in action. Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. We work with families whose total income is between 20% - 70% of the area median income. Families are accepted to the Habitat program based on their need, ability, and their willingness to partner. Applicants must be residents of Bexar County. Once accepted, first time homebuyers are eligible to buy a home from Habitat with a 20 - 25 year zero percent interest mortgage. Families spend a minimum of 300 hours investing in "sweat equity" where they support and help build their own home and the homes of their neighbors. Monthly payments average $600 (including taxes and insurance).
