Habitat for Humanity affiliates build affordable homes for working families who earn 60% of the Area Median Income and below.   We serve the under-served - hard working families who can not qualify for conventional mortgages, leaving the dream of homeownership out of reach.   We are able to serve these families by providing no interest loans for simple, decent and affordable housing.  

We also are involved at the state and federal levels to support affordable housing legislation. Our affiliates have assisted in the advocacy efforts to get such initiatives as the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and New Mexico State Housing Tax Credit passed.  We also spearheaded a bill to make construction materials tax exempt for nonprofit housing developers, which was signed into law in 2009.

If you support Habitat for Humanity's work in your community, please take a moment to let your elected officials know that you support Habitat's mission to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
