Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that everyone should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. Habitat builds homes, communities, and hope. Their specialized programs like Veterans Build for our servicemen and women, Ramps n Rails for those needing accessibility modifications, A Brush with Kindness for homeowners in need of exterior home repairs, and New Construction to provide affordable homes, ensure that we address the unique needs of different segments of our community.
