Houston County Habitat welcomes volunteers who must do court-ordered community service. While all of our volunteer opportunities are open to such volunteers, the timeframe required for the hours' completion typically means that an individual will volunteer either in construction or at our ReStore.

To be eligible to use HoCo Habitat as a source for completing court-ordered community service, your sentence must involve:

  1. No second offense convictions of a violent nature
  2. No convictions of an offense of a sexual nature
  3. No convictions of theft or burglary
  4. Written confirmation of the number of community services hours to be completed.

Additionally, you must:

  1. Sign a Release and Waiver of Liability prior to beginning community service, and sign our Community Service Acknowledgement (pdf).  Turn in these forms your first day on the job.
  2. Schedule yourself for desired hours on our volunteer calendar
  3. Sign in upon arrival at the work location (construction site, store, or office).
  4. Sign out when you leave the work site and locate a Site Supervisor to sign/initial the Community Service form, verifying your attendance and hours.
  5. Once your hours are complete, bring your form to the Habitat office for a final signature and so we can make a copy for our records.

Please note: Houston County Habitat for Humanity reserves the right to terminate this agreement for community service if the participant is in any way unproductive, disruptive, or in any other way negatively impacts the accomplishment of the daily goals.)
