Habitat for Humanity's Contribution
Habitat's work in the five-county area also plays a role in providing affordable permanent housing to those in need. The Grand Traverse Region Habitat for Humanity has provided safe, affordable housing to 41 deserving families in the Grand Traverse area since their affiliate was formed in 1987. In the year 2005, our local Habitat completed thee homes in Grand Traverse County, five in Leelanau County and two in Benzie County. They plan to build six homes in 2006.
For every home Habitat builds locally, their affiliate tithes $4,000 to build two more homes in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, their Habitat international partner.
