We build strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing.  Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage.

​

When a family owns their home, they experience increased stability and greater success in other areas of their lives.  Research shows that Habitat homeowners enjoy better health, higher levels of education, and more career opportunities than other low-income families.  The impact is multi-generational.  Children of Habitat homeowners often thrive in their new, stable environment, experiencing less anxiety and doing better in school.
