What is sweat equity?
Future homeowners are required to perform a minimum of 300 hours of volunteer work known as “sweat equity” within the Habitat organization before moving into their house. Sweat equity is an exciting learning experience in which families work with friends, family and neighbors to build their house as well as neighbors’ houses. Besides working on the construction site, there are many other ways to complete sweat equity hours such as working at the ReStore, helping with homeowner outreach, and attending homeowner education classes.
