Home Sponsorship

Churches or other organizations that want to provide a high level of commitment to Midland County Habitat for Humanity may want to consider home sponsorship or co-sponsorship. Essentially, sponsoring a home means providing everything needed to build a house – money, labor and prayers. Two or more churches or organizations may combine their resources to co-sponsor a home.

The sponsoring organization(s) provides:

• Funding – Goal of $80,000, plus 10% tithe to International if appropriate.

  • Sponsors provide as much of the total cost as possible.
  • Donated professional labor counts as funding; volunteer workers don’t.
  • Donated land also counts toward funding goal.

• Workers – as many as possible/needed.
• Prayers for our mutual success.

Midland County Habitat for Humanity provides:

• Qualified family – family members will work alongside church volunteers to build sweat equity.
• Building site, unless sponsoring organization donates land.
• Construction oversight.

All MCHFH home construction will be overseen by a construction coordinator, who will obtain needed permits, purchase building materials and coordinate inspections. All workers will follow established construction principles and safety requirements.
