  • Affordable Housing Development

    Houston Habitat builds homes in the Houston metropolitan area utilizing volunteer labor, donated materials and contributed funds. The homes are then sold to pre-qualified, very low-income, low-income or moderate-income persons. Homebuyers are selected based on need, ability to repay the Houston Habitat mortgage, and willingness to partner. During 2024, Houston Habitat built 32 new homes, rehabilitated 2 homes and sold 23 homes to low-income persons thus providing a decent home for economically disadvantaged individuals.
