| MYTH: Habitat homeowners are on welfare. |
| TRUTH: While some Habitat homeowners do receive public assistance, most work at low-wage jobs. Habitat works in good faith with people who often are at risk in society, knowing that owning a home is not the answer to every problem, but that it can be an important step—often the first step— toward helping people break out of the cycle of poverty. |
