We partner with families

Habitat homes look different around the world, reflecting the local styles, traditions, climates and needs of the communities where they are built. Wherever we work, our homes follow the same guiding principles: they are decent and affordable, designed to meet families’ needs while keeping construction and maintenance costs manageable.

We use quality, locally available materials and practical building methods suited to each location, helping to keep costs down and make homes easier to maintain. Families also work alongside volunteers and Habitat to build their homes, creating safe, stable and affordable places to live.

How Habitat homebuilding works

Partner families apply

We work with those who demonstrate housing need and the willingness to partner with us.

Building together

Homeowners often work alongside volunteers and paid contractors to construct or renovate the home, learning skills and building community along the way.

A lasting home

From securing land tenure to supporting families through affordable homeownership, our work empowers people to build brighter futures.
