Tri-Cities Area Habitat for Humanity
is an ecumenical Christian organization founded in 1989. TCA Habitat
has since built 51 simple, decent and affordable homes in the
Tri-Cities. Our hope is to eliminate sub-standard housing in our community.
TCA Habitat works in partnership with area churches, businesses and
individuals to build simple, decent houses that will become homes for
our Partner families.
Ottawa County has an estimated 529 homeless families.
Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from High School
and 116% more likely to graduate from College than children of renters.
Through
the donated time, hard work and resources of many in our community,
Habitat houses are built at low cost and sold to the Partner Families
without profit or interest. Partner Families must make a $500
down-payment and complete 250-500 hours of "Sweat Equity" before they can
move into their home. Habitat provides a variety of supportive services
to the families to help ease their transition to home ownership.
Habitat is a wonderful way to give "hand-up" not a "hand-out" to needy families in our area. Call 846-1505 or 
for more information.
