Habitat for Humanity is more than building a physical home for a family that needs affordable housing. Volunteers teach future homeowners budgeting skills, home maintenance, how to save more and spend less, and so much more prior to their home build approval. Two mentors walk alongside them for several weeks providing guidance and answering questions, one for everyday living guidance, the other for financial guidance. I served as a financial mentor many years ago. So many applicants are single moms living with the family. Volunteers assist experienced craftsmen in constructing the home, some local businesses provide reduced or donated labor and materials to provide an affordable housing option for those living in substandard housing.
