About Tulsa Habitat for Humanity
In October of 1988, Tulsa Habitat for Humanity was established for the purpose of building simple decent affordable homes in Tulsa County for Tulsans in need.
Habitat families have annual incomes between $13,650 and $32,500. This spring, 2009, Tulsa Habitat has built our 200th home. Over half of these have been built in the past 5 years. With the help of the local Tulsa community, Tulsa Habitat for Humanity intends to build an additional 1300 houses by the year 2025. Our plan is to help 20 families build homes in 2009.
Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds houses in Tulsa County with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. These families enter into a working relationship with Habitat to have homes built at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowner's monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving fund that is used to build more houses.
