Costs have gone up pretty dramatically. It now takes $100,000 in donations to assign a house to a new homeowner and start a build. The actual cost of building a Habitat Home is over $165,000. We have successfully built 12 Interfaith homes over the past 12 years. We are in need of another $25,000 to start our next house. Each of the faith partners in the Interfaith build is helping to raise the final piece for this next house. Donating is easy – just go the the Habitat website: https://evansvillehabitat.org/ Click on “Donate Now” and under where it sats “Where can we designate your gift” choose “Interfaith Build.” On the next screen under “Donor Note” just mention that you are a TABI member.
