Habitat for Humanity Virginia was founded in 2005 to support the efforts of local Habitat organizations by providing training, technical assistance, and other resources to empower them to serve the members of their community more effectively and efficiently. We also advocate at state and national levels for legislation and funding to expand affordable housing options across Virginia and Washington, D.C. 

 

Habitat for Humanity Virginia has a track record of launching innovative programs and services to meet the needs of local Habitat organizations and facilitate more affordable homeownership opportunities for our neighbors across the Commonwealth.  We support, strengthen, and empower Virginia chapters of Habitat for Humanity so they can serve more families.

​

Currently, there are over 30 Habitat for Humanity organizations building and rehabbing homes every day, serving hard-working families in the Commonwealth and Washington, D.C.  To get in touch with your local Habitat organization, you can look them up here.

Habitat for Humanity Virginia is part of the Habitat for Humanity International network of nonprofit organizations. Habitat for Humanity, initially called Partnership Housing, was incorporated in 1976. It was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable, and affordable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. Habitat for Humanity is not a giveaway program. Habitat’s families buy the houses that Habitat builds and renovates. Those families are partners in the build process and pay a monthly mortgage. Local Habitat organizations around the world have helped provide decent, affordable housing to over 49 million families in all 50 U.S. states and more than 70 other countries.
