Mission Statement:

Williams County Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to build decent, affordable homes in which people can live and grow into all that God intends.

How the Habitat Program Works

Habitat for Humanity is a homeownership program. We sell our homes to families who go through a rigorous screening process and participate in building their home. The homes are sold at no profit to Habitat and with a no-interest loan. Families make a down payment and contribute 250-500 hours of sweat-equity to help build their own home, as well as the homes of other Habitat families. Their monthly mortgage payment helps fund more Habitat homes. Our homeowner families also participate in Home Buyer Education classes which help foster increased economic independence and self-reliance. Qualifying families are 1) currently in need of decent, stable and affordable housing, 2) are willing to help build their home, and 3) meet our financial requirements. Learn more about Homeowner Qualifications.

Habitat for Humanity is about so much more than building houses. We build houses so that families can break the cycle of poverty and have a firm foundation upon which to build better lives.

How You Can Help

We depend on the donations of time and money to make the Habitat program work. Funds received from individuals, corporations, foundations, and faith organizations go towards our homeownership program. Volunteers are an integral part of the Habitat for Humanity program with both skilled and unskilled individuals assisting to build homes alongside our partner families. Volunteers also serve on committees, work in the office or assist at our Habitat Home Improvement Outlets. By donating or volunteering you can become part of something lasting and profound.
