6. Sustainability: Describe your ability, experience, and resources to implement and <br />sustain the project during the term of the project. (250 words max.) <br />Kittitas County Habitat for Humanity has been building homes in our community for 24 years. <br />We have a proven track record of constructing new affordable housing for individuals and <br />families in need. We are currently working on House 18 and have also completed nine <br />critical home repair projects. There are several things that contribute to Habitat for <br />Humanity's success: <br />• We utilize volunteer labor by engaging 300 -600 community volunteers in service to build each <br />Habitat house and work in our Store. <br />• Homeowners are provided with homeowner education courses which helps ensure a successful <br />homeownership experience. <br />• Our homeowner mortgages and/or loan proceeds go into the "Revolving Fund for Humanity." <br />Each Habitat house provides resources to build future Habitat homes. <br />• Habitat runs the Habitat Store to support the mission of Habitat. The Habitat Store is an integral <br />part of our program because it provides sustainable revenue for creating homeownership <br />opportunities for low-income individuals and families. <br />• KCHFH is negotiating with the City of Ellensburg to partner in completing 17 affordable <br />housing units for homeownership at Water and Bender Streets. <br />• KCHFH has access to construction loans through Habitat for Humanity Washington State if <br />needed. <br />• KCHFH is constantly fundraising. <br />11
