5 Month Celebration Markdowns

The Habitat for Humanity 
Home Improvement Outlet is open

A new building materials store opened February 16 to help support construction of low-income Habitat for Humanity homes in Seattle and South King County. Habitat’s Home Improvement Outlet is open to the general public. Compared with other retail building materials stores, the Outlet sells brand new materials at a savings of up to 50 percent or more.

The rapidly increasing cost of land and construction in the Seattle area compelled our Habitat affiliate to seek new ways of funding our mission to help low-income families buy affordable housing. Habitat affiliates around the U.S., operate more than 500 building materials retail stores.

The 40,000 square foot Home Improvement Outlet is sponsored by the Seattle-South King County Habitat for Humanity affiliate.

Donations of new materials sold by Habitat’s Home Improvement Outlet are tax-deductible and donated mostly from manufacturers, retail store overstock and building contractors.

Habitat for Humanity requires qualified low-income buyers to work a minimum of 500 hours helping to build their home. They buy the home at cost, on a 20- to 30-year no-interest mortgage, at a monthly payment at or below 30 percent of their gross monthly income.
