Boundary County Habitat for Humanity is now
accepting applications for their ninth house to
be built in Bonners Ferry. Boundary County Habitat for Humanity is a group of volunteers dedicated to building decent, affordable homes for families with the greatest need. The homes, built with contributions of money, materials, labor and love, are then sold without interest or profit to families who do not qualify for bank loans. There are guidelines for an applicant to qualify for a Habitat home. Applicants must have a housing need and be willing to contribute 300 hours of sweat-equity for a single parent or 500 hours for two parents. They must be a citizen of the United States, and be a Boundary County resident for at least one year. Also, criminal and financial backgrounds are required. When approved, applicants will be asked to make a $800 down payment over a one year period. Applications are available at Bonners Books, the library and on-line at bchfh.org. For more information, please leave a message at 267-7733. |
