DeWitt County Habitat For Humanity Seeking Applicants For Homes

DeWitt County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity is looking for more home applicants.

Each year, Habitat for Humanity looks to build a home for a family in need in DeWitt County. According to DeWitt County Chapter President Delmar Sandage, there are a few requirements for applicants. The requirements include the applicants have been living in DeWitt County for at least 2 years and have been turned down by a bank for a traditional loan, but the end goal is to give those in need a home to call their own.

Sandage says there is a slight misconception with Habitat's goal. The homes that are given are not a gift, and those who receive a home must a pay a mortage just like other home owners. They also have to work on their home and other Habitat for Humanity homes in the area.
