building better lives

An affordable home can eliminate the barriers to a better, healthier, and more financially stable life. With a little help, everyone in our community has an opportunity to thrive. Our mission makes this possible by putting God’s love into action to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

MVHFH’s Homeownership Program creates opportunities for affordable homeownership by building and selling homes with a 0% interest mortgage. Qualifying Habitat homebuyers actively participate on their path towards homeownership by attending monthly education classes and volunteering alongside Habitat partners.

In 2022 we:

• Built 13 homes with support from donors and volunteers

• Empowered 14 first-time Habitat homebuyers to purchase their home

• Created a stable place for 23 children to call home

• Built 2 new homes in the Junction neighborhood – the first in 20 years!
