Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta ?
Question:I went to this housing seminar today and this speaker talked about Habitat for humanity in Atlanta, how you can easily qualify if you volunteer 250 hours to other building projects, you rent your house for one year, you make payments on time and if you assist to 12 housing classes for first time buyers...other benefits also include no Interest on your mortage, low monthly payments, etc...is this all real? Also how good are these houses? In terms of construction, you have some people with some or no knowledge building it, how certain are you that you are getting a good secure and long lasting house ? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.if you currently live in a Habitat for Humanity house please tell me your experience...thanks !
Answers:
In a neighborhood in Orlando a local church assists in building for Habitat. I see it being built, but don't know much about it. It is a very small house, and looks nice on the outside. I know some of the folks involved and know that they seem to enjoy their work and have fun doing it. Singer Jon Bon Jovi is involved in Habitat for Humanity in the Northeast.
Although there are people building these homes that have no experience, they are supervised by pros. The homes are all built to code and are probably better built than a lot of contractor homes.
