Highlands County Habitat for Humanity Charity Profile

For the past nineteen years Habitat for Humanity of Highlands County has worked diligently to build safe, decent, affordable housing a reality for over 130 families in Sebring, Avon Park and Lake Placid. These hard working families provide the much-needed services to our community. They are our hospital workers, our day care providers, our elder care professionals, government staff, and retail employees just to name a few. They often do not make enough to qualify for conventional mortgage financing or slightly too much for government subsidy programs. They toil in the shadows of our economy often under served and under appreciated until, of course they are no longer here. Through our ministry we have been able to break the vicious cycle of working class poverty, by enabling our families to successfully transition from renting to ownership. They are able to accumulate a little bit of wealth to send their children to college, be better prepared for that unforeseen medical emergency, have the necessary food on the table, and maybe even retire someday with a bit of dignity. They proudly pay their property taxes and participate in greater numbers in community activities.
