Once completed the homes are sold to the family with a $500 down payment and at no profit on a 20-year, interest-free mortgage. Because of volunteer involvement, the cost of a standard three-bedroom home is kept affordable at approximately $65,000, with the monthly mortgage payment around $350, which includes taxes and insurance. Mortgage payments are then reinvested in the community in the form of additional housing opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Lowe&#8217;s<\/strong><br \/>\nLowe&#8217;s is a proud supporter of Habitat for Humanity International, American Red Cross, SkillsUSA\/Skills Canada, and The Nature Conservancy, in addition to numerous non-profit organizations and programs that help communities in North America.\u00c2\u00a0In 2009, Lowe&#8217;s and the Lowe&#8217;s Charitable and Educational Foundation together contributed more than $30 million to support community and education projects in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
