|  The site for the home was donated to Habitat for Humanity by the Joe 
			Pelc family. The public is invited to celebrate with the family, 
			take a tour of the home after the program and enjoy refreshments. Habitat for Humanity's goal is to provide decent and affordable 
			housing to those unable to secure it through more traditional means. 
			Eligibility is based upon need, income and a willingness to partner 
			with the organization. Families and individuals chosen for Habitat for Humanity homes do 
			not receive a handout but a hand up. Habitat homes are financed with 
			affordable, no-interest loans. Mortgage payments are made locally to 
			Habitat for Humanity of Logan County, which in turn uses the funds 
			to build or rehabilitate other homes within the county. Families 
			must have the financial ability to make monthly mortgage payments. 
			In addition to a monetary down payment, families must provide 350 
			hours and individuals must provide 250 hours of "sweat equity" into 
			the completion of their home and homes of others.
