Sussex County Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization and welcomes volunteers from all faiths who are committed to Habitat's goal of eliminating poverty housing.

Habitat’s Mission:  Affordable Housing
  
The mission of Sussex County Habitat for Humanity is to build simple, decent, and affordable houses in partnership with low-income families in Sussex County.

 
Since 1991, through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, the Georgetown affiliate has built 31 homes in Sussex County.  Fifty-one adults and 91 children live in Habitat homes.

The philosophy is simple: Habitat provides a "hand-up, not a hand-out." Families are selected on the basis of need, ability to pay monthly mortgages, and willingness to partner.  Homeowner candidates invest sweat equity by helping to build their homes and the homes of others, make down payments, and pay for their homes through an interest-free mortgage. Mortgage payments then go into Habitat’s "Fund for Humanity" that allows building more houses with more families in the future.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or sources of income.
