Houston Habitat For Humanity

Since 1987, individuals, businesses and groups in our community have joined Houston Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place people call home.

Through shelter, we empower people to build a better future for themselves and their families by completing financial and home maintenance training, building homes alongside volunteers, and by purchasing their homes with an affordable mortgage. With this hand up, they achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance.

Houston Habitat has built decent, affordable homes for over 5,000 hard-working, low-income Houstonians since 1987. Our history includes many landmark projects, major events and construction innovations, including the Jimmy Carter Works Project in June 1998, where Houston Habitat became the first US affiliate to build 100 homes in one week.

Houston Habitat for Humanity strives to leave a small carbon footprint while we continue to leave a large footprint in the growth and development of our community. 

Houston Habitat continues to lead the affordable housing demographic in sustainable building practices. Due to our green building initiatives, all Houston Habitat homes have been Energy Star Certified for over 23 years. 

Houston Habitat complies with the Federal Fair Housing Act in the marketing, sale, and purchasing of properties.
