ORGANIZATION: Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

We are seeking volunteers for our Repairs Program! This program serves homeowners, seeking basic home repairs: accessibility ramps and rails, aging in place modifications like bathroom grab bars etc., and simple weatherization upgrades for utility efficiency. We are in need of skilled volunteers to help us with repairs jobs. Trades students, those new to the trade, handymen/women, or retired tradesmen/women would benefit from working with us to gain hands on experience in construction!

About Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity

Location:

9438 W Fairview Ave, Boise, ID 83704, US

Mission Statement

Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and our community to provide decent affordable homes and to promote responsible home ownership for people in need. We seek to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat for Humanity invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

Description

Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity was formed in 1990 as an affiliate of this international effort through Habitat for Humanity International.

Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity has become a part of the solution of eradicating poverty housing by building simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with families in need. Since its beginning, our local affiliate has helped 43 families build new homes, providing the opportunity for hundreds of local volunteers to help build a better community. We do not build homes for people in need, but WITH people in need - as partners. In addition to building homes and creating strong communities through home ownership, TVHFH also has a Critical Repairs Program to assist home owners with varying degrees of home repairs to keep people in their homes long term. We place high value on Aging in Place so homeowners can stay in their homes longer, enabling families the autonomy, safety, and comfort they deserve in addition to maintaining ownership of the home for the next generations!
