Habitat for Humanity Northwest Indiana is giving families the opportunity of a lifetime â a home for the holidays.
âThis is a life changing experience. Owning a house and paying it off so that their children have this, this is an asset that will stay in the family for many years. Itâs absolutely a game changer,â says Dawn Michaels, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Northwest Indiana.
Habitat builds homes or repairs those that have been donated to the organization. They then sell those homes to struggling working families that meet certain income criteria.
âEvery family has to have a need, whether a financial need or inferior living conditions. Each partner family that we work with is between 30% and 80% of the average income in Lake County,â Michaels said.
