A Message From Peter Pettit

Pastor Peter Pettit competes this year on behalf of St. Paul Church. Pastor Peter and his wife Lynn have two grown children whom are married with a total of three grandkids. Pastor is always willing to lend a prayer at a home dedication or groundbreaking. He serves as a teaching pastor for St. Paul and his studies and career have spanned the county and globe. We are delighted to have someone from St. Paul compete in this year's event. St. Paul is an amazing supporter of Habitat and has been since our founding locally in 1993. St. Paul members were part of a larger mission trip in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew and the mission and work of Habitat for Humanity International became part of their heart. A sub committee was formed shortly after the groups return which is the Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities affiliate we have today." Elesha Gayman, Development Director, Habitat for Humanity QC

In Support of Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities
The Habitat program is a multi-prong approach to breaking the cycle of poverty. First, we work to identify low income families who can’t qualify for traditional mortgages and who have a need for better housing options. We pair this family with a mentor who helps them through the process of building a new home. In addition, the families must complete 250 hours per adult of “sweat equity” before they can move into their new home. They must also complete a series of classes relating to budgeting, home maintenance, and other information pertaining to successful home ownership. Once the program and build is complete the Partner Family will close on their new home with a zero percent mortgage and low down payment. Habitat for Humanity holds this mortgage to ensure that the family’s payments are no more than 30% of their monthly income. The mortgage payments they make are paid forward to help us build homes for future families.Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities builds strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable housing.  In addition to the Home Building program, we also operate a Home Repair and Neighborhood Revitalization program.
