Affordable Home Program Sponsorship

Building Homes. Building Hope. Building Communities.

Organizations or individuals can choose to fully or partially fund a home for a family in need. The lives of L-C Valley Habitat homebuyer families are dramatically changed when they own their homes and the whole family is able to put down roots:

  • Children go to the same school each year and their academic performance improves.
  • Because mortgage payments are lower than their previous rent, Lewis Clark Habitat homeowners have more disposable income to be spent in their local communities.
  • Clark Habitat families become neighborhood leaders, serving on PTA’s, and community associations, encouraging changes that help transform whole neighborhoods.
  • Increasing home ownership lowers crime rates, public dollars are saved, while the quality of life in our entire community improves.
  • Lewis Clark Habitat homeowners contribute property taxes right back into their community.

What we do:

Build simple, decent, affordable home for people with low and low-moderate income in Nez Perce County, and Asotin County

Who we do it for: 

The families LC Valley Habitat for Humanity serve-

  • Earn between 30%-80% of the Asotin County and Nez Perce County Median Income as provide by HUD
  • Are usually first-generation homeowners
  • Invest 350 hours of sweat equity in the building of their home
  • Purchase their L-C Valley Habitat Home without interest

How We Do It:

By engaging the community through sponsorship and volunteer labor.
