We believe that everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to call home. Our Habitat homeowners partner with us to build a better home and future for themselves and their families.

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible monetary donations and in-kind material donations, HfHUK builds affordable housing with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat homes are then sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans.

There are three essential components of becoming a Habitat homeowner: need for housing, willingness to partner, and ability to pay. Habitat for Humanity is an Equal Housing Opportunity provider.
