Henderson County Habitat for Humanity believes every one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures.

People in our community and all over the world partner with Habitat to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, those homeowners achieve the independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Our program provides results…

• 90 percent of surveyed Habitat homeowners in 44 U.S. cities said they could not have owned a home without help from Habitat.

• Since 1976 over 1.6 million low-income families who partner with Habitat have achieved the independence they needed through decent affordable housing.

• Children of homeowners are 116 percent more likely to graduate from college compared with children in families who do not own their homes.

• For every $1 invested in Henderson County Habitat for Humanity, there is a $90.36 social and economic return on investment through social benefits and costs saved.
