Our Great Falls Habitat for Humanity is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that was formed in 1991. They have provided housing for 46 families, and rely on volunteers, donations, and grants. Family selection process is with sweat equity requirements. Homes are sold at cost with low interest or no interest mortgages. Homes are built with donated labor and materials. These homes provide stability for families and allows families to break free from the cycle of poverty. A permanent, stable living situation results in improved academics and job performance.
