How do we select a family for a home build?
Families request a home through Casa and are added to a waiting list.
Family members are required to have a current contract for the property from the local government. A Casa committee reviews the applications and completes a site visit. Selection is based on need.
How is a home funded?
Mission teams are responsible for the funding of a home. Churches support teams and provide funds for a home.
Funds are sent in advance for purchase of materials and supplies.
