SITE
SELECTION COMMITTEE
People who are interested in obtaining sites for construction.
This includes checking with city offices for availability of
utility hook-ups, identifying deed holders of different properties,
and working with the Building Committee to be certain that the
lot is suitable for a partner family house. BUILDING
COMMITTEE
People who have an interest in and may have knowledge of house
construction. This can include surveyors, architects, people
who know building codes, carpenters, concrete workers, plumbers,
electricians, utility people, and building supply people.
If you have any knowledge about building homes OR if you would
like some on-the-job-training, please join us.
FAMILY
SELECTION COMMITTEE
People willing to interview and work with families who have
made an application to be a partner family with Habitat. These
people will check to insure the applicant families meet the
criteria established by Habitat for home ownership. Working
with the Family Nurture Committee, you will find certain joy
in making what seems an unobtainable dream come true for some
of these families.
FAMILY
SUPPORT COMMITTEE
People who have good "social/people" skills to work
with partner families before and after construction to help
partner families understand what is required regarding sweat
equity, to provide a record of that time requirement, and
to help in the transition of true home-ownership. These "advocates"
may also help the families in the areas of budgeting and home
maintenance. This is a way to truly help people who have inadequate
housing.
PUBLIC
RELATIONS COMMITTEE
People who can write articles for and work with local media,
and who are familiar with graphic arts, and who can organize
and arrange for events to advertise the mission of PCHFH.
This committee works with the Fund Raising and Church Relations
committees.
FUND
RAISING COMMITTEE
People to identify and approach potential donors (individual,
church, corporate) for either cash or "in-kind"
gifts of material, labor, property, or support. People willing
to develop fund raising events, prepare materials, and participate
in fund raising events. This committee works closely with
the Public Relations committee.
CHURCH
RELATIONS COMMITTEE
This committee works to build relationships with community
church congregations for support and dispersal of information
about PCHFH. The committee needs people willing to make public
informal appearances at church meetings, assist in mass mailings,
arrange for clergy for opening prayer at building sites before
construction. This committee works closely with the Public
Relations and the Fund Raising committee.
