Putting Chicago To Work

A 33-year-old single mom working as a cashier in North Carolina, making $45K a year, just bought a $350K townhome — without putting any money down.

She did it through Habitat for Humanity’s program, trading 200 hours of “sweat equity” instead of cash. That meant helping build homes, taking homeownership classes, and putting in volunteer time at their ReStore.

From there, Habitat helped her secure a low-interest loan with payments capped at 27% of her income — landing her monthly payment right around $1,100.

Did you know Habitat for Humanity had such an amazing homeownership program?
