Mission Statement
The mission of Lake of the Ozarks Habitat for Humanity is to work in partnership with low income families, donors and volunteers to provide decent, affordable shelter for those living at poverty levels and in sub-standard housing. For eleven years, we have helped low-income families and those living in sub-standard housing achieve their dream of home ownership. It is a success story in Camden County of volunteer workers partnering with donors; business and corporate sponsors; churches; and social and community organizations to construct safe, comfortable, affordable shelters. Habitat for Humanity is not a give-away program. Selected families agree to provide "sweat equity" helping in the construction of their home. Upon completion of the home and their "sweat equity" hours, the family enters into a non-interest mortgage with us for a specified number of years.
Since becoming an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International in 1997, 13 adults with 28 children moved into the eight homes built by our local affiliate. Their lives have been changed as their living conditions have improved. As we move forward, we need your help. If you are already a supporter, please continue your support in 2008 or even increase it. If you have not supported us before, please add our name to your list of charitable causes. You will be helping a family to take a step-up and because Lake of the Ozarks Habitat for Humanity has been approved as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, donations qualify as a deduction on federal tax returns.

ABOUT US
For fourteen years, we have helped low-income families living in sub-standard housing achieve their dream of home ownership. It is a success story in Camden County of volunteer workers partnering with individual donors; business and corporate sponsors; churches; and social and community organizations to construct safe, comfortable, affordable shelters. Since becoming an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International in 1997, 15 adults with 32 children have moved into 10 homes in Camden County. Their lives have changed as their living conditions have improved. As we move forward, we need your help. If you are already a supporter, please continue your support or even increase it. If you have not supported us before, please add our name to your list of charitable causes. You will be helping a family to take a step-up and because Lake of the Ozarks Habitat for Humanity has been approved as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, donations qualify as a deduction on federal tax returns.
The cost of an average house in Camden County is approximately $80,000. We also tithe ten percent of all money raised for local houses to the Interfaith Habitat Program in Madagascar and, because housing costs in third world countries are so low, we have built as many houses internationally as we have nationally.
to provide long-term solutions to the housing needs of families who have been affected and displaced by the earthquake in Haiti but cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage. To help, please visit Habitat for Humanity's Web site at www.habitat.org.

Haiti Earthquake Recovery
On Tuesday, January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, the strongest earthquake that country has seen in more than 200 years. Already, the disaster is being called a catastrophe of major proportions. We need your help. The extent of Habitat's ability to help families rebuild their homes and lives after this devastating earthquake will depend on the funds we can raise for the work - and on how quickly those funds are available.
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. As a builder of decent, safe, affordable housing, Habitat for Humanity recognizes the need
