All committee members are expected to commit a minimum of one year to their positions and to attend monthly committee meetings.

The Church Relations committee seeks to strengthen the support of the affiliates work by gaining volunteers, prayer, and financial
resources from all community churches. The committee works in partnership with churches by extending the opportunity for members
to engage in ministry by becoming involved with HFH.

by the board of directors. The committee serves as a resource for families in the process of becoming homeowners. Once an

associations, and property owners. The type of construction that best fits the needs of the local community and the Habitat

affiliate will do, dealing specifically with house design criteria, materials, plans, and cost estimates.

continually seeks to raise and maintain the community's awareness of Habitat's work in ways that properly reflect the mission,
beliefs and image of HFHI through newsletters, contact with local media and active speakers bureau. Effective sharing of the
Habitat mission with the community is the responsibility of this committee.
