Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Salt Lake area is expanding its mission into Tooele County, initiating the construction of four affordable homes near existing Self-Help Homes developments in Tooele City. Each home—ranging from 1,200 to 1,400 square feet—will come with a 30-year, zero‑percent mortgage, and monthly payments capped at 30% of residents’ income. Future homeowners will also contribute 225 hours of sweat equity, engaging directly in the build alongside training and supervision from construction leaders.
Carin Crowe, CEO of the affiliate, emphasizes the significance of this move: despite perceptions of lower costs, local home prices still average $400,000–$525,000, underscoring the pressing need for affordable options. Beyond building structures, Habitat envisions deepening community ties in Tooele—offering repairs, partnerships, and support as funding allows.
