Habitat for Humanity looking for land
Boundary
County Habitat for Humanity is seeking donated
building lots or parcels of land that can be
divided into building lots in the City of
Bonners Ferry to help local citizens who
couldn't otherwise afford it live the dream of
home ownership.The group is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing organization dedicated giving potential homeowners "a hand up, not a hand out," investing "sweat equity" in helping family, friends and volunteers build their homes and the homes of others. Since the local chapter was founded in the early 1990s, more than a dozen families have benefited.
The payments they make on their interest-free mortgages go back into the "Fund for Humanity" to help build more homes for other families struggling to live the American dream, bring stability to their families and make everyone involved more engaged in their community.
Boundary County Habitiat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and donations may be tax deductible. If you can't make a donation of land, there are others ways to help, either by donating materials, labor, expertise or by making a cash donation.
