Our congregation financially supports the Affordable Home Foundation
This non-profit was launched by one of our congregation's members, the mission is to build affordable homes for low income families.
Another member of our congregation developed the construction design to a build house using foam panels. This reduces the cost of the house construction, and makes the house eco-friendly with less than 5% of wood used in the construction compared with typical construction.
The house will use less electricity to heat and cool because the insulation rating is 26% higher than building codes require.
The purpose of Foundation is help low income families become home owners by selling a house at less than two thirds of the appraised value.
