Dear Friend,
House lawmakers are teaming up with Habitat for Humanity of Indiana to help build a home for a low-income family and raise awareness of the need for affordable housing.
We are currently collecting new and used tools at the Statehouse, and in March, we will trade in our pens for hammers on the south lawn of the Statehouse to build wall panels, which will be transported to a home site for a Hoosier family in need.
Habitat for Humanity of Indiana is a non-profit organization serving 75 counties. The organization believes in giving families in need a hand up, not a hand out, by having the families demonstrate their ability to pay a mortgage and manage their finances. Once they are accepted into the program, they contribute by helping build other families’ homes, and attend homebuyer education classes.
There are multiple ways to get involved with Habitat for Humanity of Indiana, including making a financial donation, volunteering to help with construction, and providing in-kind gifts or lunches at construction sites. For more information, visit www.habitatindiana.org.
