Habitat provides the money for the new home, and the new owners make monthly no interest payments for 20-years. The mortgage payments are generally less than rent.
The first step toward a new Habitat for Humanity Home is making an application. And process takes off from there. For more information, stop by the Re-Store on East Central Avenue in La Follette or call 423.566.7316. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 05/09/2018-10:45AM)
