We share a common vision to serve the community. Habitat doesn’t have shareholders to please. We can learn and grow together to serve the needs for affordable housing in the community. We can access land and create proposals of what can be developed. We have expertise in buying, building, and repairing underutilized properties for the betterment of the community. Our supervising staff have the skills & capability to have volunteers included in the project. You would be working with the local Habitat team, getting access to Habitat's network of professionals and volunteers to create a lasting asset for the Church and the community. Habitat for Humanity is a trusted provider of community based affordable housing and that recognition helps to mitigate NIMBY fears that may arise in an affordable housing project.

How Can Your Church Make an Impact in Affordable Housing?: •

Who is more connected to the community than the church? By leveraging unused assets to develop more affordable housing, your impact will be made even stronger in your service to the community. Developing church land and other church assets allows for affordable housing to be accessible to those in need in the quickest way possible. You own private property opposed to public property, which allows for more efficient approval processes and ability to meet the need sooner. Developing your assets becomes an income generator for the church. This sustainability allows for the church to continually support and maintain the need for affordable housing in the community while creating a new revenue stream for the church. Churches can also become members of a Faith Coalition to continue to support affordable housing solutions throughout our shared community.
