Description
We are a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Our affiliate is comprised of a core group of dedicated volunteers that come from many walks of life and have a broad range of skills and experience. We build or renovate houses for chosen families that demonstrate a need and have the ability to partner with us. We are responsible for the entire process; from selecting a property- to transferring ownership. We also continue to support the new owners after they have settled into their new homes. Some of those in turn volunteer with us, becoming part of our team. The many hundreds of tasks and details that are necessary to facilitate this process are shared by many individuals, institutions and businesses outside of our core group, and we could not accomplish much, without their support and the support of the communities we build in. Not only do we build houses but we build and strengthen relationships in the community.
