Beach County was incorporated as a nonprofit
organization in 1991 and supports the communities
of Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. The
Habitat process goes back to the traditional values of
reward through effort. Each partner family is required to
pay back the actual cost of the home through a non-interest-
bearing mortgage, with monthly payments of principal,
taxes, and insurance. The system is designed to build
self-esteem in the partner families. For more information
about Habitat for Humanity South Palm Beach please view
