Our mission

Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, to develop communities with God's people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow into all that God intended.

Hand-up not a hand-out

Hand-up not a Hand-out. Each family member over the age of 18 must contribute 200 hours of "sweat equity" prior to moving into their house. Twenty -five hours must be completed before their house is started. Once completed they pay an affordable monthly payment.
