Financial

It takes money to pay for construction materials, contractors, and development costs associated with building and rehabilitating homes in Bucks County.  Likewise, money pays to help find volunteers who can make strong commitments in support of the needy.  Money also pays for the services provided directly to our clients such as mortgage and budget counseling and free furniture distribution.  The hope of owning a home comes only as a result of your generosity and the generosity of others.  That's why we invite you to become a Sustaining Member of Interfaith Housing.  Your tax-deductible gift will help continue our work for years to come.  Your gift does make a difference!
