Since 1992, Habitat South Sarasota’s goal has been to build or renovate safe, decent, affordable, energy efficient homes for those in need in south Sarasota County, FL. Habitat educates our homeowners so that they may succeed in homeownership and pass their newly acquired knowledge onto the next generation.
A hand up, not a handout. We know the complexities that surround the cost of a home. We also know the struggle, stress and pain that far too many families face in our communities. And we recognize that those with the fewest resources are often forced to make the hardest choices.
We build homes that are ENERGY STAR certified. Building "green" makes Habitat homes more durable and less expensive to maintain, which keeps our families within their budgets thus assisting further in financial stability. With affordable mortgage payments and low energy bills, this increases the family's budget for groceries, healthcare, education, and savings!
Our client base consists of families and individuals, including veterans and seniors who earn 60% to 80% of this area's median income, which is set forth by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Habitat South Sarasota’s home buyers come from all walks of life and must meet four criteria: need, live or work in the local community, willingness to partner, and the ability to pay an affordable mortgage. We follow a nondiscriminatory policy of homeownership. No race or religion is given preference when it comes to buying a Habitat home. We believe that everyone deserves a safe, secure place to call home.
Our successful plan is largely credited to our supportive services focused on helping families prepare for homeownership and navigating them through what is otherwise a complicated process.
