Home Features
Habitat for Humanity is committed to building simple, decent, and affordable houses that will meet the needs of the homeowners.
Floor Plan
The size of a Habitat house is determined by the number of family members. Habitat provides a standard floor plan for each size house, which might be adapted to meet special needs of the lot or particular considerations of the family. All adjustments to floor plans are minimal and there is no guarantee that Habitat can meet all the desires of the family.
Customization
There are some customizable choices for your home. Every homeowner can choose at no cost:
Vinyl siding and exterior door colors.
Roof shingle color.
Countertop colors for kitchen.
Phone and cable jack locations.
Carpeting and vinyl flooring selection.
If possible, some minimal changes to the basic floor plan.
Customized Budget
In an effort to personalize and beautify the home while still staying true to Habitat’s mission of building “simple, decent, affordable housing” a family may choose to add custom options in combination up to $2000, which will be added to their mortgage. Examples of these options include: appliances, ceiling fans, landscaping, extra windows, air conditioning, etc.
Green Homes
In a further effort to ensure affordable housing, we have focused on building energy efficient homes. All of our homes are Energy-Star certified, and we are making steady progress towards even higher levels of green certification. This commitment helps not only the environment, but it also helps create sustained energy savings for our partner families.
