Partnership Committee
The Partnership Committee is responsible for helping Habitat homeowners become successful homeowners through effective mentoring and education programs. The Committee ensures that an affiliate's work goes beyond simply building or filling houses, to fulfilling Habitat's mission to improve lives. This Committee develops strategies to ensure that HFHRV's staff, volunteers and homeowners understand the concept of Partnership.
