Our HistoryCheboygan County Habitat for Humanity opened its doors, March 18, 1994, to provide affordable housing solutions for those community members needing a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home. Throughout the years, our programs have expanded to include a Home Repair Program. We have served over 50 families through these programs and hope to serve many more community members through affordable housing solutions in the future.
At Habitat, we believe no matter who you are or where you come from, we all deserve to feel strong and stable each day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures. The benefits of a safe, affordable home is something that impacts future generations of Habitat homeowners. |

Habitat History: Habitat for Humanity was established in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. The Fullers wanted to address poverty housing on a global scale through “partnership housing”. The Fullers' concept of partnership housing centers on those in need of adequate shelter working side-by-side with volunteers to build simple, decent houses. Habitat’s no profit and no interest financing is affordable. And the “Fund for Humanity” (homeowner mortgage payments, no-profit loans, and fundraising dollars) provides the capital needed to build.
Today Habitat for Humanity has completed more than one million homes around the world, completing the construction or repair of a home at the rate of every 5.5 minutes.
