In partnership with donors and volunteers, Habitat Lake-Sumter’s Home Ownership program provides families access, opportunity, and guidance on attaining an affordable home.
Families partner with Habitat to pay an affordable mortgage and through “sweat equity,” which shows they are invested in the outcome of their new home. Sweat Equity is earned through several different activities such as volunteering on a Habitat worksite, in the ReStores, and through educational courses such as a First Time Homebuyer, Financial Literacy, or Credit Counseling classes.
Through the Youth Construction Academy, Habitat Lake-Sumter is able to provide 4 additional home ownership opportunities to local families each year and the partnership with The Villages Charter High School, Leesburg High School, South Lake High School, and Eustis High School allows students to gain hands-on education and vocational training at Habitat’s dedicated build sites.
