It's a troubling reality that more than half of American renters who dream of owning a home worry they'll never be able to afford one. In Maryland, the situation is even more challenging. The annual income needed to purchase a median-priced home is $87,324. With the median income of renters in Maryland being $51,800, the dream of homeownership is far beyond the reach of many hardworking families and individuals. At Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County, we’re committed to making safe and affordable housing a reality for everyone in Frederick County. By addressing the housing affordability crisis, we can help build stronger, more stable communities. To dive deeper into this issue and understand the challenges facing renters today, read the full article below from CNN. https://lnkd.in/gKB6f2gf

About us
Since 1993, Frederick Habitat has built or renovated 48 homes, transforming the lives of adults and children in our County. We have mobilized more than 4,500 volunteers, and trained partner families in budgeting, home repair, safety, and maintenance. Habitat homes are scattered throughout Frederick County, in communities like Middletown, Brunswick, Frederick City, Thurmont, Emmitsburg and Buckeystown. In addition to building affordable housing, Frederick Habitat is a designated Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative affiliate. Frederick Habitat serves local neighborhoods by responding to community aspirations with an expanded array of products, services, and local partnerships that empower residents to revive their neighborhoods and enhance their quality of life. Concerned and motivated people from all walks of life have come together to make Habitat homes a reality in Frederick County. Churches, businesses and individuals volunteer to support our mission. These dedicated volunteers raise funds, build or improve homes, work with partner families, serve on committees and help with administrative work. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitat.
