About Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity builds with Insulated Concrete Forms, a concrete-and-foam wall system that results in a very air tight, very well insulated home. Inside the walls, the homes incorporate energy efficient appliances, low-allergen flooring and low-flow plumbing fixtures; all in addition to a rigorous homeowner education process that includes home maintenance and energy conservation.
As a result, third party testing found each home to be 50 percent more efficient than a standard new home. Habitat homeowners in similar homes built by Habitat for Humanity Winona-Fillmore Counties have seen an annual utility savings up to $400 over the MN average!
To qualify for a Habitat home, families must currently live in substandard housing, be unable to obtain a conventional loan from a bank, have the resources to pay a monthly mortgage and be willing to partner with Habitat for Humanity. Before moving into a Habitat home, families must contribute 300 hours of “sweat-equity” to the building of the home and must make a modest down payment.
Habitat for Humanity-Winona County built its first home in Winona County in 1994. Since then, 45 homes have been built. In addition to the 25 homes within the city of Winona, Habitat has built homes in Lewiston, St. Charles, Minnesota City, Altura, Stockton and Rushford.
Volunteers interested in helping with Habitat for Humanity projects or offering donations may call the Habitat for Humanity–Winona County office at 507-457-0003 or visit our website at www.habitatwinona.org.
