Background: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis is committed to eliminating poverty housing and making home ownership available to very low-income families, most of whom have children and live in unsafe or substandard conditions. Each qualified low-income family must meet Habitat’s income and credit history criteria, as well as agree to invest 250 work equity hours and assist with the building of their own home along with helping with other Habitat homes.
