Habitat for Humanity of Catawba Valley kicked off its 9th annual Building on Faith week "blitz" on Sept. 22. Construction on four homes took place in Habitat’s Highland Village neighborhood, located behind the old Highland School in northeast Hickory. The goal of Building on Faith is to bring together a variety of churches in fellowship as they work to improve the lives of the new homeowner families and build stronger communities.

Home in Highland

Volunteers from local Lutheran churches have always played a big role in supporting Habitat’s mission. Pictured here, members of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Conover raised a wall for homeowner Deneen Dula’s home in Ridgeview Village. St. John’s sponsored Deneen’s house and provided most of the volunteer labor to construct it.

An exciting partnership between Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity is making it possible for more families to have a chance at the dream of owning a simple, decent home.

Through the Thrivent Builds Homes program more than two-thirds of the funding for Habitat homes is contributed by Thrivent Financial, its members and local chapters. The remaining funding is raised through the efforts of local Lutheran congregations and Habitat.

In Catawba County, the Thrivent Builds Homes program is helping to make the dream of homeownership come true for future homeowner Mary Ann Gay and her two sons, Keon and Kameron.

Local Lutheran churches are joining forces to kick off the construction of Mary Ann’s 3-bedroom house in the Highland Village community on May 31.

Holy Trinity Lutheran, St. Peter’s Lutheran, Mount Olive ELCA, Christ Lutheran, St. Andrew’s Lutheran, St. Timothy’s Lutheran, Bethany Lutheran, Bethel Lutheran, Beth Eden Lutheran and St. Stephen’s ELCA are sponsoring  the build and providing volunteers to do everything from raising the walls to bringing lunches to the construction site.

The congregations are working  weekends at the construction site, with hopes to complete the house this summer.

Habitat for Humanity International awards “Open Door Challenge Grant” to Catawba Valley affiliate for work with churches in 2007.
 


 

Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families.

  Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.

Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.

What's Habitat all about?

Habitat for Humanity of Catawba Valley is a non-profit, community based organization dedicated to building affordable housing for hard-working, low income families. While it is affiliated with Habitat for Humanity International, a Georgia-based ecumenical Christian ministry, it is governed by a local board of directors.  Habitat brings diverse segments of the community - churches and temples, businesses and individuals, service clubs and foundations - together with the common goal of financing and constructing homes for deserving families.

All families who qualify for Habitat homes must have lived in crowded or substandard housing. Habitat not only offers families the opportunity to own a home, but it also moves families with children out of at risk neighborhoods and into safer environments.

 

Families are qualified for ownership based on a sliding income scale and various other factors that include "credit worthiness."

 
 

 

Habitat is an equal housing opportunity lender.
