Founded in 1984, Habitat for Humanity of Rome & Floyd County seeks to carry out the vision of Habitat for Humanity in our local community.

During our first 20 years we built 28 simple, decent houses with our partner families.

As an affiliate, we are autonomous from Habitat for Humanity International. We work in partnership with HFHI, local churches, businesses, individuals and our partner families. Decisions are made locally and funds raised build houses locally. We voluntarily contribute 10% to HFHI to help build houses worldwide.

How does it work?

Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.

Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.

What is our vision?

As part of Vision 25/25, it is our goal to build 25 new houses in Rome and Floyd County by 2009, our 25th anniversary.
