About Habitat For Humanity Of Texarkana Inc
In Texarkana, Habitat for Humanity works alongside low-income families as they build affordable homes, complete 200 to 300 hours of sweat equity, attend workshops, and repay an affordable mortgage. Its local work also includes exterior repairs for eligible homeowners, from scrape-and-paint projects to roof replacements. You can support that work through the ReStore, vehicle donations, or direct involvement in local housing efforts.
Homeownership here includes more than a house. Partner families contribute sweat equity, prepare through financial-readiness workshops and homeowner education, and repay an affordable mortgage. Habitat for Humanity of Texarkana also helps eligible low-income homeowners protect their homes through critical exterior repairs, while its ReStore supports local housing work through proceeds from building-material sales.
