When people hear Habitat for Humanity, they immediately think of house construction.  While this is the main work of Habitat, there are lots of other opportunities to get involved.  

Before construction begins there is a lot of planning that goes on.  The Building Committee is responsible for the planning, implementing and monitoring of each of our construction projects.  The Building Committee meets the first Tuesday of each month at 8:00 AM at the Habitat Office.  

Partner families must go through a rigorous screening process before they are selected.  The Family Services Committee reviews every application that comes in to ensure the partner family will succeed in homeownership.  Once a partner family is selected and approved by the Board of Directors, the Family Services committee appoints a liaison to work with the family during the construction of their home. The liaison will monitor sweat equity hours, make sure the family is attending required training sessions and be available to answer questions that may come up. The Family Services committee meets the first Tuesday of each month at 5:00 PM at Nittany Bank, 2541 East College Avenue.    

In order for a house to be built, we must have the funds to build it!  The Community Development Committee works on securing the necessary resources, both volunteer and monetary, to build a house. This committee oversees our major fundraising events: HouseWalk, Carpenter's Ball, Motorcycle Run and Golf Tournament.  

The Site Selection Committee  is always on the look-out for affordable, buildable land for our next project.
