Applications open for Habitat for Humanity

By Reader Staff

Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity is currently accepting applications for the 2018 Habitat home.  The IPHFH builds homes in Bonner County for low- to moderate-income families in need of decent and affordable housing. Habitat partner families must save for a low down payment, help build the home with sweat equity hours, have a job/income, paid past bills and obligations in a timely and as agreed manner, and will purchase the home upon completion  from Habitat with a zero interest mortgage, all conditions remaining satisfactory.

Other criteria includes: currently face housing problems, have lived or worked in Bonner County for at least one year; and meet Habitat income guidelines. Partner families will learn about budgeting, home repair and maintenance.

Applications are available at the Habitat ReStore at 1519 Baldy Park Road in Sandpoint. For information or questions, call Teri Smith 208-610-1003.

While we have you ...

... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.

You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.

Sandpoint Reader LLC is a completely independent business unit; no big newspaper group or corporate conglomerate or billionaire owner dictates our editorial policy. And we want the news, opinion and lifestyle stories we report to be freely available to all interested readers - so unlike many other newspapers and media websites, we have NO PAYWALL on our website. The Reader relies wholly on the support of our valued advertisers, as well as readers who voluntarily contribute. Want to ensure that local, independent journalism survives in our town?
