About this organization
Mission
Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity (GMHfH) is a non profit which builds decent, perpetually affordable and energy efficient homes and sells them at cost to low-income working families who currently live in substandard and unsafe conditions and who can't afford a home on the open market. The families pay less for their new mortgage/property taxes/ homeowners insurance than they did in rent, allowing them to become more financially secure. Families who have stable housing are healthier and less likely to need government assistance; their children do better in school, are more likely to graduate from high school than children of low-income renters, and twice as likely to acquire postsecondary education. We raise all revenue locally and want to build more homes each year.
