Become a Habitat homeowner
We build because strong homes build strong communities.
Build your home with Habitat
Housing barriers prevent people from having a secure, safe place to live. We’re working to change that here at home.
We work to lower barriers to affordable housing by:
partnering with individuals and families in need of better housing to construct safe, decent homes.
providing education on home maintenance, personal finance, and risk management so that future homeowners have the tools to build a strong, stable, and self-reliant future.
A Habitat home and an affordable mortgage help homeowners save more, invest in education, and pursue opportunity.
“Owning a home for my girls and me to make lifelong memories together has always been a dream of mine. I am so grateful to Habitat for Humanity—not only for helping make our dreams come true but also for giving me the opportunity to help build our home myself!”
— Megan, Habitat homeowner
Habitat homeownership benefits the entire community.
-
The community's tax base grows
Homeowners pay property taxes that are used to fund schools and projects that better the entire community.
-
Children of homeowners perform better in school.
Because they do not suffer the detriments that accompany frequent moving, children of homeowners are more likely to obtain a secondary education.
-
Habitat homeowners require less public assistance.
Because Habitat homeowners spend less on monthly housing costs, they use public assistance programs less frequently.
