About
HFHIC is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity of Independence County works in partnership with people in need to build decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.

Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.

Second Home at 415 Ferrell Street

Groundbreaking for second home.

The ground breaking for the Lewis family home took place in September 2009 at 415 Ferrell Street.

Habitat for Humanity of Independence County and the City of Batesville are partnering to install a city park in the midst of the four lots bounded by Ferrell, Grace, and Boggs Streets where the next four homes will be built.
