Our biggest challenge is finding property on which we can build houses.  We have enough money and enough volunteers to start building our next house now IF we had property to build it on.  For every house we build, many eligible families apply to be the homeowner.  The need is great.  We need your help to find the next property where we build a house.

 

What type of property are we seeking?   The most affordable property to build on is a lot on a public road with direct access to utilities.  However, we are willing to explore many possibilities.  This includes a multiple lot piece of property that would provide land to build a number of houses over several years.

I have a small piece of land, but it may not be buildable.  Talk to us.  Due to the severe shortage of affordable housing, most municipalities are willing to work with us on variances that would not be available for standard development.

What if the property already has a building on it?  Talk to us.  If the building is in good structural shape, we may be able to do a rehab.  If the building is not suitable for a rehab, we can often get funds through grants for the demolition and clearing of the property.  We shall explore all possibilities.

Why should I donate my land to Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity?  The most fundamental reason is the feeling of contribution you get from helping less fortunate families build a stable life as homeowners in the community.  There are also significant tax benefits from donating the land.  Talk to us to discuss various benefits. 

I want to help, but I need to get some money from the property.  Talk to us.  If you are willing to sell the property at a price substantially below market prices, you will still be eligible for tax advantages, and we may be able to reach a price that allows us to achieve our home pricing targets.

Whether you own property or know of some that might be available to us, please talk to us.  We shall investigate all possibilities.  We can evaluate the suitability of the site, and we can research the current owner(s) if that is not known.  The property does not need to belong to an individual; churches and businesses may have excess property that they would be willing to donate.

Regardless of your situation, please talk to people about our need and let us know of any possibilities.  Thank you for your support.
