Seeds of stability

Habitat Mexico was helping families construct safe and durable homes near Camilo’s village and he frequently made the hours-long journey on horseback to their work site to check on their progress, learn about Habitat’s construction program and try to convince them to expand their program to his hometown further south — his persistence paid off.

Serving those who served

Our Veterans Build program serves veteran homeowners like Louis with critical home repairs in 27 states thanks to support from The Home Depot Foundation.

Everyone deserves a decent place to live

Through shelter, we empower people to build a better future for themselves and their families.

Building resilience after Hurricane Sandy

After Hurricane Sandy destroyed her home, Barbara was able to rebuild a stronger and more resilient home with the help of Habitat for Humanity.

Earlier this year, Phala, Chariya and their four children moved into a climate-sensitive Habitat home they helped build Cambodia’s Battambang province. The look of their home is similar to others in the area — but the difference is in the details.

Together, we build better lives

Your financial support is a sound investment in a family’s future and helps us build much more than houses. Together, we’re helping families build strength, stability and self-reliance.

Gabe, Sylvia, Oscar and Lucy

A Habitat home designed for people with disabilities removes obstacles for Oscar and his parents.

Making accessibility a reality

Jason’s disability didn’t stop him from partnering with Habitat for Humanity to build an accessible home for himself.

A step up

A Habitat for Humanity house is a hand up, a step up for families who — many of them for the very first time — are achieving a decent, affordable place to live.

Because of this house poetry

When we ask Habitat homeowners what their homes make possible for them, their answers — just as they share them with us — fit together like poetry. The powerful poetry of lives changed and futures transformed.
