 Sumter Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to ending
substandard housing and building strong
communities in Sumter County. We partner with local
businesses, community organizations, faith
communities, cities and volunteers to build simple
decent homes which are sold to qualified families with
a 20 year, no interest mortgage that is paid back to
Sumter Habitat for Humanity. As the homeowners
make their mortgage payments, they are recycled back
into building additional homes right here in Sumter! |
