Smith County Habitat for Humanity is an independent, locally run, nonprofit organization.

Smith County Habitat for Humanity chooses its homeowners based on three criteria:

      • the applicants' level of need
      • their willingness to become partners in the program
      • and their ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest loan.

Neither race nor religion is a factor in the application process for families who are accepted into the Habitat program.
