On Saturday, May 12, 2012, employees from Allied Affiliated Funding’s Dallas headquarters will take part in an onsite team build day for the Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity.  Approximately 25 Allied employees from various departments and their friends and family members will help to complete a brand new home in Dallas by smoothing the lot, laying the sod, shrubs, flowers and general landscaping around the house. This is the final stage in completing this family’s new home.

The Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity is a Christian ministry that builds quality, affordable homes in partnership with deserving low-income families.  Their goal is to eliminate substandard housing in Dallas County by building communities of hope, dignity and self worth.

The Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity contributes over $800,000 in property taxes each year to the city and has created stable, permanent housing for over 2,330 family members, including more than 1,220 children since starting in 1986.  The organization does not give a hand out, but rather a hand up to deserving families who receive a 0% mortgage but are required to pay a monthly payment.  The Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity helps coach the families on taking care of a house, budgeting, etc.  This is a wonderful sponsorship opportunity that provides a team bonding event while giving back to the local community and to a family in need.
