Ground-breaking for the first Newton County house will be held Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m. CDT.  The location is the corner of 1st and Dunlap in Kentland.

A steering committee has been formed by Newton County residents to oversee the process.  JCHFH will be providing logistical support, training, financial management and guidance during the pre-build process.  The Newton steering committee will provide the fund-raising, select a family, and provide labor and meals for this house.

If you are interested in being part of this exciting project, contact Rev. Sue Beckett at Brook UMC afternoons at 219-275-3751.

We are no longer accepting applications for the Newton County house.  Check back to find out the plans for the next Jasper County house.

The Jasper Foundation, Inc. and Jasper County REMC Community Fund, Inc. recently awarded grants to Jasper County Habitat for Humanity.  Both grants will be used to purchase a storage trailer for the affiliate.  This will allow for the secure storage of equipment, supplies and tools and make those portable to each building site.  The JCHfH logo will be added to the side of the trailer to identify the trailer, and allows us to get the word out about our organization.

The board of directors sincerely thanks both The Jasper Foundation and the REMC Community Fund for their generosity.

2007 Jasper County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors




Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. Habitat works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need, Habitat's partner families, at no profit and with no interest charged. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.



Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, and headquartered in Americus, Ga, HFHI's work in the United States is accomplished by affiliates. Habitat affiliates are independent,
  nonprofit [501(c) (3)] organizations that are organized by local citizens and operate with local boards and local volunteers. There are more than 1,600 U.S. affiliates spread among all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers provide most of the labor, and faithful individual and corporate donors provide the money and materials to build Habitat houses. Habitat's mission is to eliminate poverty housing from the earth. Habitat has taken its vision of a world with no more shacks to 100 nations. To date, HFHI has completed over 200,000 simple, decent, affordable houses around the globe.
