Midland Habitat for Humanity dedicates the 176th house in program’s history

MIDLAND On June 2, Midland Habitat for Humanity dedicated its 176th house, located at 815 Wolfberry Court, to a deserving homeowner. The home was funded by the Abell-Hanger Foundation.

MHFH is one of the premier institutions responsible for constructing affordable housing in the Permian Basin. The organization’s partnership model offers deserving, hard-working families a hand-up, a news release said.

MHFH uses a rigorous qualifying process that includes progress from the application through home ownership. Each participant contributes a minimum of 350 hours of “sweat equity” on the worksite and completes a home ownership education program. Successful candidates are then awarded a 0% interest mortgage, making home ownership a reality for some of the neediest families in the Permian Basin, the release said.

Anyone interested in supporting MHFH’s efforts in the Permian Basin can contact Jeff Meyers, Chief of Staff, at 432-686-8877
