2026 Logansport Community Build

TOGETHER, WE... Build, Influence, Succeed!

The time has come once again! The time to come together and build has arrived! Habitat for Humanity of Cass County (HFHCC) is excited to announce that the Cass County Community Foundation will be the lead sponsor of the “2026 Logansport Community Build”!
HFHCC will be breaking ground in October to prepare the foundation and have this next house built in the spring of 2026. More help is needed!

As a valued member of the Logansport community, HFHCC invites you to join in building a house with a local family in need of affordable home ownership. The goal is to build a house in which volunteer labor and funding is provided by a variety of community partners- Financial Institutions, Churches, Civic Organizations, Businesses, and a plethora of individuals. This is a house-raising… all of our neighbors are invited!

HFHCC is a Christian ministry that builds houses in partnership with families in need of affordable home ownership. The houses are built using volunteer labor and are sold with a no or low-interest mortgage.  The prospective home buyer contributes 250 hours of sweat equity per adult family member. Funding to build the houses comes primarily from the private sector. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from instability, stress, and fear. Decent, affordable housing provides families with a place to gather and grow. According to the 2023 Logansport Housing Study, 42% of renter-occupied households spend more than 30% of their income on rent.

The idea of a “Logansport Community Build” came from HFHCC’s shared need to increase its capacity in addressing affordable homeownership solutions.  It didn’t want to be a building club, where only a few are involved… but an organization that belongs to all who are interested in helping families attain a decent, affordable, place to live. The HFHCC Board wanted to put into practice its mission of bringing people together to build homes, community, and hope.  In doing so… the capacity to serve is increased.

HFHCC is asking Community Partners to contribute towards the $100K needed to build a Habitat house. Cass County Community Foundation will contribute $25K as the lead sponsor. We are seeking additional Community Partners- Churches, Organizations, Businesses, Financial Institutions, and Individuals- to help reach that goal.
In addition, a number of volunteer opportunities for groups to help with the build process are being scheduled. Let HFHCC know if you'd like to get involved, whether you have construction skills or not- there's a job for everyone!
