Everyone deserves
a simple, decent
place to live.
Habitat Grosse Pointe Partners
is an ecumenical partnership of Grosse Pointe churches dedicated
to supporting the work of Habitat for Humanity.
Why help?????
"Nowhere
in the United States can a minimum-wage worker afford a two-bedroom
apartment at Fair Market Rent, based on the generally accepted affordability
standard of paying no more than 30% of income for housing. To afford
FMR on a two-bedroom housing unit, one would have to earn $14.44
per hour in Detroit."
