Habitat for Humanity-North Central Georgia is a non-profit, Christian housing ministry that builds affordable homes for purchase by low- to moderate-income families who demonstrate a capacity for responsible homeownership.

Since its inception in 1995, Habitat-NCG has completed 300 homes, serving over 1,275 family members in North Fulton, Cherokee and Forsyth/Dawson counties. Each family is required to attend educational classes related to homeownership and must perform 200 sweat equity hours. Families earn between 30% and 60% of the Atlanta area median income and purchase their homes through a 30-year, no-interest loan financed by Habitat-NCG.

In addition to new home construction, Habitat-NCG started a home repair program in 2014. To date, 44 repair projects have been completed primarily serving veterans and seniors. For more information on Habitat for Humanity-North Central Georgia, please visit www.habitat-ncg.org.
