About Us
Decent, affordable shelter provides families with a place to gather and grow. Even more, by working with Habitat to achieve affordable homeownership, families can transform their lives.
Habitat for Humanity has many healthy home-building practices in order for our families to be successful for years to come. Our homes are well built and highly energy efficient, which keeps ongoing housing costs affordable. This shows our commitment to the health and longevity of the families in these homes. To further ensure homebuyers can retain their home for many years, we provide both pre- and post-purchase support to Habitat homebuyers serving over 150 families annually.
Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from instability, stress and fear and encourages self-reliance and confidence. Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. When a home fosters — instead of hinders — health and safety, families can flourish. Owning an affordable home also allows homeowners to lift up their entire family by saving for their futures and investing in educational opportunities — bolstering job opportunities and long-term career growth.
Habitat homeowners and their families show better financial health, parents who are more confident about meeting their family’s needs, and even improved grades for their children. Decent, affordable shelter creates long-lasting and life-changing impact on families and communities.
