A Brief History of Mountain Spirit Habitat for Humanity
Mountain Spirit is part of Habitat for Humanity, which began in 1976. It’s a nonprofit Christian housing ministry founded on the belief that “every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety.”
Though they base their mission on religious principles, they provide housing for people and welcome volunteers from all backgrounds. Along with that, they do not try to convert anyone they serve or work with to Christianity.
With the support of U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, along with many others, Habitat for Humanity now serves 1,400 communities across the country as well as in approximately 70 nations worldwide. To date, they’ve helped provide decent housing to 9.8 million people and counting.
What Does Mountain Spirit Habitat for Humanity Do?
Mountain Spirit Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to ending substandard housing in Park County. They offer a home-ownership program to qualifying families. Each home is sold to a qualifying family who commits to work on the house, make a down payment on it, and then make a monthly mortgage payment.
The houses built by Mountain Spirit Habitat for Humanity remain affordable because they’re sold with no-interest loans and are built entirely by volunteers. Since Mountain Spirit Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization, all the money and resources they receive go toward their home-building projects.
