In its fight against poverty housing in Armenia, Habitat for Humanity Armenia has partnered with 83 families in the mountaneous village of Khachik to renovate or reconstruct their homes and complete the half built ones. Over the past year, HFH Armenia has helped 388 people from Khachik improve their housing conditions.

More than 1,200 families in need in Sardarabat, Nor Armavir, and Mrgashat in the Armavir province and the city of Artashat in the Ararat province are expected to be served by the pioneering effort, which offers no-profit, home-improvement loans to qualified families earning 20 percent to 65 percent of the median income.
