Mission Statement:Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with God's people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow into all that God intended. Affiliate covenant between Habitat for Humanity International and Chenango County Habitat for Humanity (CCHH). How Our Affiliate Works CCHH is a 501(c) (3) non-profit charitable organization that seeks to provide affordable housing in Chenango County, New York State. We do this with precious volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations
of money, land and materials. Families are selected based on their
level of need, willingness to work, acceptance of responsibilities
and ability to repay mortgage. Our families must complete some 350
hours of sweat equity and additional time in homeowner education
classes. Our qualified families purchase CCHH built homes with a
zero-interest mortgage, enabling them to own their own home. Where We Are Our office is in Oxford, NY at the United Church of Oxford, where we rent space. Our area of service in this work is the 910 square miles of Chenango County, New York State. How Volunteers Help Volunteers are our marrow and lifeblood. Without all of them nothing would be made. We build homes because they are there for us. We sell carnations annually, with this a major fundraiser each year. The volunteers, through their faith affiliations, hold suppers and raffles with proceeds for our benefit, and with which we are able to do ever more. 2005 Highlights May – Groundbreaking Ceremony at the new 7 Adams Street, Norwich, NY home December – The panelized house for 7 Adams Street was, delivered, unloaded and construction began on 12/10/05. Leadership CCHH's Board of Directors provides our affiliate with a variety
