A recent S200 check from the South Brunswick Islands Home Builders Association last week boosted the fund to the half-way point, with the pledge of additional financial and in-kind support. "We want to make this one of our major projects for the coming year," said Steve Mann, president of the home builders group. Habitat for Humanity is an ccu mcnical Christian housing ministry. Its objective both internationally and locally is to eliminate poverty hous ing and to make decent shelter "a matter of conscience". "Things arc happening, but it's slow," said the Rev. Dr. Richard W. Warner Jr., co-chairman of the local board. "Pan of the difficulty is heightening awareness. "We're real concerned," he con tinued. "We want it to truly repre sent the entire county." Brunswick County Habiuit for Humanity is working now to build a solid base of support in the form of commitments of volunteer labor, do nations of materials or cash, and pledges for continuing financial sup port. Warner said the local program has had more interest expressed by vol unteers who arc "ready to pound nails and build buildings" than from those who rccognizc thai the organi zational and financial structures must first be in place. "This is not a one-time thing," said Warner. "If we don't have the committees or structure bringing in dollars on a regular basis, we may be able to build one house or two, but we won't have the long-term im pact we have in mind. You can't build houses without money." Habitat is a grass-roots effort. Families apply to the local project as prospective homeowners. Family se lection is based on housing need, ability to repay a housing loan, fami ly size and willingness to participate as a partner in Habitat's ministry. Unlike some housing programs, Habitat involves no government funding. It does expect projcct homeown ers to work alongside other volun teers to build not only their own home, but those of others as well. Mortgages, on a no-profit, no-in terest basis, arc issued over a fixed lime period, usually about 20 years. The mortgage payments go into a housing fund and recycled to build new houses. Of 29 county churches contacted for support, less than half, 12, have responded, including the four in volved from the start ? St. James and St. Philips Episcopal, Jennies Branch Baptist and Camp United Methodist. The local Habitat for Humanity board plans to hold another general meeting in the near future to update interested persons on the progress of the project and to allow participation by new volunteers. Meanwhile the board of directors meets the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 a.m. at the Brunswick County Government Center. Raising the S3.000 from 15 sources? evidence of a broad base of community support? is just of the steps the local group must com plete before it is allowed to formally affiliate with Habitat for Humanity International. The international group recently set up an account for the local effort and is accepting donations on its be half. Oncc the account has the S3.000 minimum and the project meets other criteria, it will be recog nized as a full Habitat affiliate. lo that end, the local project is in corporaung as a non-profit organiza tion, seeking additional funds and lin ing up volunteers on working com mittees for all aspects of the project from fundraising and management to pounding nails. Warner, Scarborough and possibly other board members plan to attend a March 20-21 training session in Black Mountain sponsored by Habitat's South Atlantic regional center. In the near future small "house " banks will be place in businesses countywidc to accept donations. Habitat is encouraging churches, civic groups or individuals to get in volved in the project, cither with one-time gifts of labor, materials or cash, or a pledge of continuing sup port in a specified sum. Churches can establish a "covenant ' relation ship with Habitat along those lines. Warner, board members Jack Scarborough and Jimmy Register and others are available to speak to local church and civic organizations about Habitat and its self-help philosophy. Meanwhile, the local Habitat group is exploring the possibility of finding a home site and then buy ing ? at a cost of about S10,000~a house being moved off a local beach, as one way of "getting started a little sooner," said Scarborough. "That's one of the quickest way to get the volunteers out." Checks payable to Brunswick County Habitat for Humanity can be sent directly to Habitat for Humanity International Headquar ters, Americus and Church Streets, Amcricus, Ga. 31709.
