Description

Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity (GSHFH) is a housing ministry dedicated to strengthening communities by empowering low-income families to change their lives and the lives of future generations through homeownership opportunities. This is accomplished by working in partnership with diverse people, from all walks of life, to build simple, decent affordable housing.

Habitat's mission to provide homeownership opportunities to low-income families is unique as it requires partner families to work alongside the community that is reaching out to help them. Each Habitat partner family provides "sweat equity," or physical labor, toward the construction of their own home, other Habitat family homes and special projects. Partner families provide between 250 – 400 hours of sweat equity and participate in educational programs designed to help them achieve successful homeownership.

Habitat partner families are selected based on three specific criteria:
• Ability to pay a zero-percent interest mortgage
• Need for simple, decent shelter
• Willingness to partner with the organization, sponsors and community volunteers

Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1987 and serves all of Hampden County Massachusetts. We have helped over 39 local families and 79 international families realize their dream of homeownership over the last 20 plus years. Of the families helped, more than 50 percent of these families are single mothers looking for an opportunity to allow their children to grow up in a safe, affordable home.
