Frequently Asked Questions

Habitat for Humanity of Pulaski County, KY operates on a "hand up, not a handout" model. In this approach, the organization provides families in need with the opportunity to achieve affordable homeownership. Rather than simply giving away homes, Habitat for Humanity requires qualified families to actively participate in the construction or renovation process through "sweat equity." This involvement not only helps reduce the cost of the home but also fosters a sense of ownership and pride.

By purchasing homes with affordable mortgages, families become stakeholders in their own housing solutions. The mortgage payments, in turn, contribute to the organization's ongoing mission to build more homes for those facing housing insecurity. This sustainable model emphasizes empowerment, community involvement, and a collaborative effort to break the cycle of poverty through safe and affordable housing.
