Since its founding in late 1999, Habitat for Humanity of Grand County has built and refurbished more than a dozen houses and provided a simple, decent, affordable homes to low-income and deserving families in our community! When we complete a Habitat house (in partnership with the selected family), we sell it to the family with a no- or low-interest first mortgage and a monthly payment that does not exceed 30% of their monthly income. The term of this mortgage is generally 30 years. Our work has not only built houses for low income families in the county but also has built houses that will remain affordable for the long term. One house at a time, we are building a base of affordable housing in the county.
