Founded in 1991 in Allen County in West Central Ohio, Habitat for Humanity-Lima Area, Inc. has built 35 houses--two in Delphos, one in Spencerville, and 32 in the city of Lima. The affiliate's ministry took a major step forward in 1998 with the hiring of a half-time Executive Director, Ken Pulley and houses have been built steadily ever since. Now in 2008 the affiliate takes another significant step as it has leased a building and opens a ReStore at 123 E. Wayne St. in downtown Lima.
The affiliate is deeply grateful for the untold numbers of persons who
have supported its housing ministry--construction volunteers, donors,
board and committee members and many others who have offered
encouragement, counsel and prayers. With the assistance of many
individuals, churches, and businesses thirty-five families have achieved
the dream of homeownership!

Habitat for Humanity-Lima Area, Inc. is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate 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. |
