everyone
can be God’s love in action
Habitat is an international Christian ministry that brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Anderson County Habitat was founded through a local church in 1986, and churches made up the majority of our support for many years. The faith community is so important to our mission! Your love of God and others and passion to serve is exactly what Habitat needs!
Through shelter, Habitat empowers low-income families and individuals to help themselves. Home ownership provides:
stability for families and children
a sense of dignity and pride
health, physical safety and security
increased education and job prospects
Working alongside volunteers, our Habitat homeowners put in hundreds of sweat-equity hours as they help build their own homes and complete financial education classes. Then, they purchase their home and pay an affordable, interest-free mortgage.
