East Cooper Habitat for Humanity (ECHFH) assists families by building safe, well constructed homes. Working in partnership with low-income families, ECHFH utilizes volunteer labor and donated funds to provide a hand up, not a hand out, on the construction of their homes. Homeowners are chosen based on their demonstrated ability to handle personal finances, their need, and their willingness to contribute at least 350 hours of sweat equity on their home. Upon completion, Habitat homes are purchased by the homeowner with monthly payments under an interest-free mortgage over 30 years, and those payments are directed toward future homebuilding efforts as received.
East Cooper Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, servicing the communities east of the Cooper River in South Carolina. Visit their website for information on the organization and how to get involved.
