Along with Habitat’s community partners, Habitat can assist low-income residents, maintain home ownership rates, improve the housing stock, and increase neighborhood pride.

Neighborhood revitalization is a holistic approach that expands our traditional partnerships with new homeowners and volunteers to include neighbors and local organizations so that we can make a far greater impact in the neighborhoods and communities that we serve. While home construction continues to play a vital role, a bigger toolbox that includes repairs and other services allows Habitat to serve more families.
