Habitat for Humanity Lakeside

Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and renovates simple, decent houses with the help of homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, and are financed with affordable no-interest loans.

The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses in Sheboygan County. All Habitat affiliates around the world, including Habitat for Humanity Lakeside, are asked by HFHI to tithe – to give 10 percent of their contributions – to fund house-building work in other countries.

Habitat assist homebuyers in gaining access to affordable, decent homes, while building financial independence. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor – building alongside volunteers and staff during the construction of their house and the houses of others.

Founded in 1993, Habitat for Humanity Lakeside (HFHL) is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that serves Sheboygan county.
