Mission Statement

Essex County Habitat for Humanity's mission is to bring people together to build affordable homes, strengthen families and communities, and foster hope. Our vision is that one day, everyone will have a decent place to live. We build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

Description

Essex County Habitat for Humanity is the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, the largest nonprofit homebuilder in the world. We build decent, safe, and affordable homes in partnership with the families who need them. Each partner family works at least 240 sweat equity hours alongside volunteers to build their home and then carries an affordable 30-year mortgage. Affordable homeownership is the foundation for a more stable future. Since we were established in 1985, we have delivered on our mission for over 170 families in Essex County.

To help fund our work, Essex County Habitat operates a ReStore, located in Lawrence, selling quality new and previously owned furniture, appliances, building materials, and home goods at greatly reduced prices. To learn more, please visit EssexCountyHabitat.org
