Family Selection
Members of this committee play a major role in deciding who lives in Ashe County Habitat homes. Volunteers bring a wide range of skills to this committee, from social service expertise to analytical skills for reviewing applications. This committee assists in the screening of applications and with visiting the homes of prospective homeowners to help determine need. |

Family Support
The Family Support Committee pairs Ashe County Habitat volunteers with homeowner candidates. These volunteer "supporters" serve as the link between the candidates and the Habitat office. Supporters answer questions and provide support in preparation for the home ownership process. Many supporters work on the construction site with their homeowner family, helping earn sweat equity hours. |
