Houston Habitat for Humanity works by faith to change lives and empower families by building homes in partnership with God and people from all walks of life.
What We Do
Houston Habitat is the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Established in 1987, we have built more than 880 homes and served more than 3,000 Houstonians as Family Partners. We welcome more than 5,000 volunteers each year to help out with home building, clerical work and retail.
Houston Habitat works to eliminate substandard housing by helping hard-working families purchase simple, decent homes in which to live. This is possible through corporate sponsors, individual donors and foundation grants that fund the majority of construction costs on each home. Our Family Partners are approved and qualify for down payment assistance and a zero-interest mortgage carried by Houston Habitat for Humanity.
“To my children, my home has enabled them to see the happiness that being a homeowner brought into my life. Becoming a homeowner was one of my greatest goals, and having a safe place to raise my nine grandchildren.”
