Question

Why are the recipients of habitat housing sewed to court because they cannot pay their monthly amortization?

Answer 1

Because the homeowner purchased the house, from Habitat. Habitat is their mortgage company (but without interest and no profit). Just like any other company, if you do not pay for your mortgage, you get in trouble. However, Habitat will give you a lot more time and chances, and flexibility than a regular mortgage company. You are paying for a house at cost- with no labor charges due to volunteers, and super cheap building materials.
