My husband used to be the Executive Director for the Habitat for Humanity chapter in Grand Forks, and so I know how much work it takes to build a house, and how involved and invested the homeowner is in the process. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not a “free house” – the owner puts in sweat equity and then gets a mortgage with lower monthly payments with the plan that they will one day own it (the Habitat for Humanity chapter owns the house until it is paid off).
