Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating houses, so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God?s love and can live and grow into all that God intends.

Habitat for Humanity?s goal is to eliminate substandard and poverty housing by building adequate housing with those who need it. Habitat for Humanity seeks to instill this goal in the hearts and minds of people in such a way that substandard housing becomes socially, politically and religiously unacceptable everywhere in the world.

Habitat for Humanity urges its supporters to educate themselves on the issue of poverty housing and homelessness, both in their own communities and around the world, to volunteer, and to share its mission and vision with others. Every day, as more people are enlisted in Habitat?s effort, the houses they build demonstrate in a concrete and positive way that substandard housing can be eliminated from the world. Habitat for Humanity encourages you to log on to www.habitat.org to learn more about its worldwide efforts, access the online version of the bi-monthly magazine, Habitat World, and find out how to get involved in assisting us in eliminating substandard housing.

Habitat for Humanity of Lake City/Columbia County is Changing Lives

Welcome! The Lake City/Columbia County Habitat for Humanity welcomes you. Peruse our website to find out how we are making homeownership a dream come true for families in need in our area. Working in partnership with families to build decent homes they can afford to buy, Habitat helps break the cycle of poverty housing and homelessness.

We offer a hand up, not a hand out. How we build is as important as what we build. By investing themselves in the building process, future homeowners gain self-reliance, self-esteem and new skills. We require our Habitat homeowners to invest hundreds of hours of ?sweat equity? to help build their home. With a qualified 0% interest mortgage, the homeowners' down payment and monthly payments are used to build more houses by means of a revolving fund.

You can help make this vision a reality. Habitat for Humanity of Lake City/Columbia County seeks to provide families in our community with decent and affordable homes. This process is only possible through the contributions of habitat volunteers. Through volunteering you can take an active role in building a strong community, forming new friendships, gaining responsibilies and learning new skills. All of these valuable attributes are accessible while working hand in hand with the future homeowners themselves. There are many areas for you to contribute your talents. To donate your time and talents to Habitat for Humanity or for information on how you can support Habitat's work through donations (of land, construction materials and funds), please visit our "Contacts" page.

"With Habitat we build more than just houses. We build families, community, and hope." -President Jimmy Carter
