Mission Statement

Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio builds affordable houses in partnership with families in need.

About This Cause

Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio builds affordable houses in partnership with families in need. We work with very low-income families whose total income is generally 20% - 70% of the area median income. For most of our families that means an annual income of approximately $28,000 per household. We are not a charity or handout program, but rather we help families help themselves. Built with volunteer labor, Habitat homes are sold to low-income families at zero percent interest and no profit. Families are accepted to the Habitat program based on their need, their ability to pay a zero percent interest mortgage, and their willingness to partner. Applicants must be residents of Bexar County. As a program requirement, families invest a minimum of 300 "sweat equity" hours to help build their own house and that of their neighbors. They also attend home ownership readiness training, covering a variety of topics from home maintenance and repair to money management. Mortgage payments for a three- or four-bedroom Habitat home average just $500 per month.
