Habitat for Humanity Is Taking Applications This Month

Starke/Pulaski Habitat For Humanity will be taking applications this month as they seek to build a house this summer somewhere in Starke or Pulaski County.

As Steve Morrison explained, “Basically, we start out and we take applications and people who are in need of decent housing and so forth, or maybe they’re renting or whatever, and then we have a small brochure-type application whereby we ask them various questions, and it shows the income limits – lower and upper income limits – that people would qualify through. They have to be employed for 12 months, no bankruptcies for two years, and just some basic questions. If they all qualify for those few basic questions, then we’ll actually make a full application for possibly a home.”

To learn more about Habitat For Humanity and the process involved in applying for a Habitat home, stop in during one of the informational meetings. The first is scheduled for Saturday April 5 at the Monterey Tippecanoe Township Library at 10 a.m. EDT and the Pulaski County Public Library in Winamac at 1 p.m. EDT. On Saturday, April 12, a meeting is scheduled at the Francesville-Salem Township Public Library at 10 a.m. EDT and at the Pulaski County Public Library in Medaryville at 1 p.m. EDT. On Saturday, April 19, meetings are scheduled at the Starke County Library in San Pierre at 9 a.m. CDT, the North Judson-Wayne Township Library at 12 p.m. CDT, and the Henry F. Schricker Public Library in Knox at 3 p.m. CDT.
