Facts About Our Affiliate

*    

How It Works
  •       Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses    alongside our homeowner (partner) families.
  •         NOHFH is currently building its 13th home.
  •         Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor (sweat equity) into building their Habitat house
  •        Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable loans
  •        The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses

New Builds

    Since 2000, Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity has built 13 homes throughout Northern Ocean County. Our most recently completed house, in Jackson Township, is now the home to a single mother and her two children. Groundbreaking has already been completed and building has begun on our next home in Manchester Township.

    Construction of our homes is the collaborative effort of many dedicated and loyal volunteers who give their time and expertise for the common goal of presenting an affordable, decent home to a deserving family.

    Families are selected by the Family Selection Committee based on NEED, ABILITY TO PAY and WILLINGNESS TO PARTNER.

NRI
 Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI) is part of Habitat for Humanity International's (HFHI) initiative to revitalize communities through additional programs. NRI seeks to revitalize neighborhoods through A Brush With Kindness, Weatherization and Rehab. This continuum of housing solutions allows us to help more low income families through simple repairs (ABWK). Often homeowners do not have the money to maintain their home and make necessary repairs. What little money they do have must be spent on basic needs like food, clothing, mortgage, taxes, healthcare etc. Since its inception in the spring of 2010, NOHFH has conducted 36 ABWKs. Northern Ocean has also moved up the spectrum of NRI by completing extensive rehabs. throughout our  affiliate area.

 

There are many ways to volunteer with Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity. Besides helping on a construction site, volunteers can serve on the board of directors, on committees and in our ReStore.
