Financial contributions for the Steigelman home came from Deutsche Bank; Discover Bank; Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh; Habitat for Humanity International; Longwood Foundation; Welfare Foundation; Marmot Foundation; local churches, businesses, and individuals; and Sussex County government.

Local contractors working on the Steigelman home made significant in-kind contributions to the completion of the home.

Habitat for Humanity seeks families who currently reside in substandard living conditions and works along side of them to build a simple, decent and affordable home with an interest-free mortgage. Habitat provides the potential homeowner with training designed to make them successful homeowners.
