Sen. Merritt to Assist with Habitat for Humanity Home Build Saturday on the Eastside of Indianapolis

STATEHOUSE , IN – June 25, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) and members of the Senate staff will join local volunteers in a Habitat for Humanity home build on Saturday, June 26, from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 44 N. Rural St. in Indianapolis.

“This organization is all about neighbors helping neighbors,” Merritt said. “It’s a great thrill to be able to work off the clock with our staff and other volunteers to help make the dream of home ownership come true for a Hoosier family in our community.”

Merritt said Habitat for Humanity assists local families who cannot qualify for conventional mortgages by partnering with volunteers to help build a safe and affordable place to call home. Families are required to complete a homeownership training course, work at least 300 hours on their home build and purchase their homes through a zero interest rate mortgage.

According to the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis website, the organization has built more than 225,000 houses around the world, providing more than a million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. Here locally the organization has built 374 homes for Hoosiers in need.
