About New Home Construction

Building a new family home is a journey we are honored to take alongside our partner families, working together to create affordable housing in our community. Selected families or individuals actively participate in the construction process, each contributing 250 hours of sweat equity—working alongside Habitat staff and volunteers to build their homes from the ground up.

Through this experience, homeowners gain valuable skills, hands-on knowledge, and a stronger financial foundation. Upon completion, they achieve the stability of homeownership by securing an affordable mortgage through Habitat.

“My advice to a future homeowner would be “what seems impossible now will always be possible when you believe the strength that lies within you”.
