House #2 Groundbreaking

Family Selected for Habitat House

Local Recycling Project  

New homes will be built, or deteriorated houses will be restored, in Alliance and Hemingford.  The second house was completed and dedicated in May 2009.

 

The third house has been completed!!  Each home is constructed through a partnership between volunteers and the selected family, and will be sold to that family at no profit and no interest.

 

 

The median household income in Box Butte County is $54,000 per year.  According to guidelines, households earning between 25% and 50% of that median meet the income eligibility requirements for a Habitat home.  This means households of four earning between $13,500 and $27,000 per year are in the approximate range for eligibility.  Overtime, bonuses, etc. are excluded when considering income.  Guidelines leave room for variances based on family size, extraordinary expenses, food stamps, and other assistance, etc.

 

In general, a household is considered to be in poverty if it earns less than 50% of the median for a community.  In Box Butte County, that encompasses 1200 households.
