Unity Build
Unity Build 2008.
Timberwood is the new building site for 2008. It is in northwest
Nashville, near I-65 N and Briley Parkway east just off Dickerson Pike.
Unity Build is a coalition of churches and corporations working with an
affiliate of
Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing
organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to
build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those
in need at no profit and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most
of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to
build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of
labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others.
Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to
build more houses.
