Habitat for Humanity of Sumner County TN, Inc. is a non-profit, ecumenical
Christian housing ministry. Began in 1993 and chartered in 1994, the first
year was spent in organizing and fund-raising efforts. In 1995, the first
house was built on Long Hollow Pike in Gallatin and was completed for Christmas.
Since then 21
houses have been completed and families moved in.
How does Habitat for Humanity work?
Habitat for Humanity is not a charity or give-away program. Habitat For Humanity
builds houses with Sumner County families in need. Volunteer labor is used
to build houses to keep building costs low for Habitat families. Families
make a small down payment on their homes and pay a monthly no-interest mortgage
payment. In addition, families contribute up to 500 hours of "sweat
equity" in building their home. Please see our "FAQs"
page for more details.
