Since then, the organization has provided a hand up, not a hand out to 115 low-income, hard working families. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay back an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering, or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. <\/span>To learn more about the organization and find out how you can get involved, visit <\/span>www.habitatlv.org<\/span><\/a> and like us on Facebook @Habitat Lehigh Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Information and image provided to TVL by: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
