HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Habitat for Humanity is looking for at least one more project in Cass County for their Home Repair Program. The program provides either an interest free 10 year loan or a fully subsidized loan to help homeowners finance critical repairs to their homes such as HVAC, plumbing, and water heater. As we seek to maintain our existing housing stock this program is a great opportunity for both communities as well as homeowners.
Ken and his team can provide additional information on the program.
