We build decent, affordable, simple houses for God's children who by conventional means cannot afford a home.

Description:
We build houses in the Mower/Freeborn counties with partner families. We provide a new home for a 30 year, no interest mortgage, built by all volunteer labor and discounted building supplies. The home owner has to put in a specified amount of "sweat equity" (depending on the size of the family) and meet specific income guidelines to qualify for a home.

History:
Starting in 1991, Habitat for Humanity Freeborn/Mower has built 23 homes in Austin, Albert Lea, Adams, and Leroy. Starting in a rented one room office, we have moved to a new warehouse/office/meeting facility located at 800 7th Street NE in Austin, MN. We have developed a Restore which is a retail outlet for new and used building materials sold to the general public at discounted prices.
