Equal Housing Opportunity

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or sources of income.

Hancock County Habitat for Humanity is in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 3601-3619 and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 5 U.S.C. SECTION 1691-1691F (ECOA).

Habitat for Humanity was founded as an ecumenical, non-profit ministry based on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety. Worldwide, Habitat affiliates improve people’s housing conditions through new home construction, rehabilitation, incremental improvements, repairs or increased access to improved shelter through partnerships with the private sector.

Partnering with economically disadvantaged individuals and families, Hancock County Habitat seeks to eliminate poverty housing and to make decent, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Through monetary and in-kind donations, volunteer labor, and each partner’s “sweat equity", we are able to complete projects which are then financed under affordable mortgage loans.

...ANNOUNCING THE REOPENING OF OUR HOMEOWNER APPLICATION PROCESS for our current build in Franklin. **Application DEADLINE EXTENDED to 6/16. + Now serving applicants up to an expanded 80%* of the AMI.** We are looking forward to the opportunity to select and work with a new partner for this project--allowing them to begin an exciting new chapter in their life.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Hancock County Habitat for Humanity, with employer identification number 01-0443774, is considered a subordinate under the group tax exemption umbrella of our parent organization, Habitat for Humanity International, Inc. (“HFHI”) under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The group exemption number assigned to HFHI by the IRS is 8545, and their EIN is 91-1914868.

Our organization doesn’t appear on the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Select Check site [https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/exempt-organizations-select-check] as we are a subordinate under Habitat for Humanity International and fall under their group exemption number, searchable by their EIN. (A few other Maine affiliates actually do appear separately, which can get a bit confusing!)

This quote really underscores the meaning and desired outcome of our home-building ministry: “I have come to believe that I belong—which is as much a part of Habitat as the homeownership. I belong as a community member. I also have something to contribute. … Habitat for Humanity has given me the chance to feel that I have hope for the future. For the first time in my life, I have the time to stop worrying about survival long enough to plan for the future.”—SueAnn Belknap, Habitat homeowner in Corvallis, Ore., December 1995/January 1996 issue
