self-reliance
everyone deserves a decent place to live
through shelter,
we empower
People in our community partner with Habitat for Humanity to build and buy a place they can call home. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

with your hands,
you build community
Whether you are swinging a hammer, advocating for affordable housing, or volunteering in the ReStore, local supporters play an integral role in building our community.
