Having a safe place to call home has long lasting impacts on every community. It allows people to seek steady employment, access to further education, and simply sleep soundly at night. Homeownership opens up so many new opportunities for everyone to better their lives and of those around them.

​​Jes is working hard to help build her family’s home and create a future where her family can transition out of survival mode and can focus on thriving. They can build a bigger future once they purchase their new safe, affordable home. ​During partnership with Habitat, Program Partners will complete homebuyer education, budgeting and finance classes, along with completing sweat equity hours to learn necessary skills to maintain their new home.

We offer a variety of unique partnership avenues to give the citizens of Cheboygan County a hand up, not a hand out. If you've ever wondered how to qualify for our Homeownership Program, or any of our programs, you can find more information on our Housing Programs page. If you have any further questions you can call 231-597-4663 or email [email protected].

​It’s not just a fad, social media like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have integrated into our ever so busy lives. These world wide lines tap directly into our homes and hearts. Habitat for Humanity uses these platforms to improve the community around them. Here are a few ways that we utilize social media today.

Social media widens our audience from face to face to across the world. This means more people, who may need a hand up, will see our message, our mission and our organization. This means that more people are able to access safe, decent and affordable homes without having to uproot their lives to new areas.

We are able to keep volunteers updated with new projects, added shifts, or any changes that might affect their valuable work. Not only that, we are able to spotlight and honor their profound impact within their community. Seeing the good that their friends and family are able to put forth often spurs new people into action.

It brings our mission into the gaze of more local businesses, clubs and organizations that would like to partner with Habitat, donate material, or set up volunteer opportunities. Building safe, decent and affordable homes require a lot of time, materials, people and money. These things are all avenues where you can help us, help local families help themselves.

Owning a safe and decent home creates long-lasting and life-changing impact on families and communities everywhere. This includes providing a source of wealth and asset-building, influencing health and educational outcomes, and contributing to positive community cultivation. Homeowners have more opportunity to build social capital through communal engagement, which strengthens their motivation to maintain and improve their neighborhood. In short, homeownership constructively impacts so many aspects of individuals' lives and the communities around them. The Hypio family are one of the families we have been able to work with and assist in reaching their goals of Homeownership.
