About Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County has been an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International since 1997 and has built 24 homes.

Homeowner families are selected according to established criteria: need for housing, ability to partner with Habitat and ability to pay. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing.

Partner families purchase the homes from Habitat with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. Volunteers provide most of the labor.

Tax-deductible donations of money, land and materials are provided by individuals, organizations, churches, foundations and businesses.
