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 61 homes in Sussex County. Eighty-five adults and 161 children now occupy these homes.
The philosophy is simple: Habitat provides a "hand-up, not a hand-out." Families are selected on the basis of the need for housing, ability to pay a no-profit, no-interest mortgage, and their willingness to partner. Homeowner candidates invest sweat equity by helping to build their homes and the homes of others. Mortgage payments go into Habitat’s "Fund for Humanity" and are used to build more houses with more families in the future.
