Welcome
|
Sandtown Habitat for Humanity
is a nonprofit Christian housing
organization here in the
Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood
of West Baltimore with the
purpose of rebuilding the vacant
housing in
Sandtown, increasing
homeownership and improving the
health of the community. By
having affluent and poor, black
and
 white, urban and suburban
working together in partnership,
Habitat serves to build new
relationships and an increased
sense of community as well as
new homes.Sandtown Habitat
rehabilitates and builds houses
in partnership with the
homeowners using mostly
volunteer labor and private
funding, selling the completed
homes at cost to low-income
families on a 20-year mortgage
with no interest charged.
Payments go into a revolving
fund which in turn helps to
finance other homes in the
community. It works! Our first
230 plus homes have been
completed using this model.
