HABITAT FOR HUMANITY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Properties in Milford, Nashua, and Wilton Could be Within Reach for Many Families

Nashua – The Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity is accepting applications for three properties in the Greater Nashua Area.  The three construction projects will begin to unfold over the next few months and span two-to-three years.  Families interested in becoming Habitat home owners are strongly urged to contact the organization. 

President Jerry Harrow emphasized the importance of imparting this information throughout churches, community centers, non-profit organizations and government entities who are concerned with alleviating housing problems. “There are many families who might not realize that Habitat for Humanity might help bridge those gaps that otherwise prevent home ownership, particularly in this economic climate”.  Harrow pointed out that Habitat for Humanity partners with families in order to help them become home owners and relies on their volunteer work and the volunteer work of others to help bridge those gaps.  “Once the home is erected by all these volunteers, the fact that it was built through volunteer efforts affords the new homeowner the opportunity to purchase the home at a zero-percent interest rate mortgage – all for about the cost of a rental apartment ($1000 per month inclusive of taxes and insurance).  Habitat is very fortunate that it can offer three opportunities concurrently and as our organization continues to grow we anticipate being able to offer more home ownership opportunities”.  (more…)
