Bay Area <br /> . .itt Habitat <br /> Now More Than Ever <br /> for Humanity® Help Build It! <br /> Houston <br /> City of LaPorte <br /> 604 W. Fairmont Pkwy <br /> LaPorte, TX 77571 <br /> Dear Ron Bottoms, <br /> Bay Area Habitat For Humanity- Houston, Inc. is a non -profit 501(c)(3) housing ministry <br /> that builds safe, decent homes in partnership with families earning less than 60% of the <br /> area medium income. We are an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International which <br /> builds in over 100 countries. <br /> • <br /> We follow a nondiscriminatory process of selecting families based on need, willingness <br /> to partner and the ability to repay the loan. Families must invest at least 300 hours of <br /> "sweat equity" into building Habitat homes before buying their home. Hones are built <br /> with volunteer labor and are sold as cost with a twenty year no- interest mortgage. Homes <br /> cost about $70,000 and appraise for around $90,000. Volunteers provide labor, funding <br /> and in -kind donations and homeowner mortgages help fund additional hones. <br /> As we look to expand our ministry and change the lives of many more needy families, <br /> Bay Area Habitat for Humanity-Houston respectfully requests the support of the City of <br /> LaPorte. We are requesting four building sites on North 7 Street. <br /> Our program provides families with affordable housing and helps increase wealth by <br /> asset building through homeownership. Your assistance will increase the number of <br /> families we can serve and extend the social and economic benefits our organization <br /> provides in LaPorte. <br /> Should you have any questions concerning our mission and organization, please do not <br /> hesitate to call me at the office # 281 337 3590 or nainsworth @bahIh.org. Thank you for <br /> considering our application to support our mission to eliminate poverty housing. <br /> 1 artn ti. hi._, <br /> alie a ian -Ai sw rt <br /> Executive Director <br /> P.O.
