About Us
History
Our affiliate obtained official status in December, 1995 in the West Bay area, and we expanded into the northern Rhode Island area in 2000. During that time, we have provided homes for 17 families, entirely through volunteer efforts. Communities served by our affiliate are Burrillville, Coventry, Cranston, Cumberland, East Greenwich, Foster, Glocester, Johnston, Lincoln, North Scituate, Smithfield, Warwick, West Greenwich, West Warwick and Woonsocket.
How We Do it
Through donations of time, volunteer help, and tax-deductible donations of money and building materials, Habitat for Humanity, West Bay and Northern R.I. builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving Fund for Habitat for Humanity, West Bay and Northern R.I. that is used to build more houses.
