Habitat for Humanity of
Defiance Co. has been building every year
since it became an affiliate of Habitat for
Humanity International, in 1998. Habitat for
Humanity of Defiance Co has not only been
building houses, but has given families, that
might otherwise never own a home, the
opportunity to have their dreams come true by
providing a no interest loan.
Habitat for Humanity of
Defiance Co has build homes on Karnes Ave,
Thurman St, Milwaukee Ave, Logan St, Martin St,
and Madison St in Defiance. We also have built
one home in Sherwood and two in Hicksville.
First Energy has provided many grants to Habitat
for Humanity of Defiance Co for construction of
“Energy Star Qualified Homes”
. These homes are energy
rating tested for air flow and how well they are
insulated. They also have to meet strict
requirements for HFHDC to be able to receive the
money. Habitat for Humanity of Defiance Co
builds the most energy efficient houses possible
using all new materials. We give the partner
family the best house we can, to start their
home ownership.
