CONSTRUCTING HOMES. BUILDING HOPE.
When you envision Habitat for Humanity, images of home builds, dedicated volunteers, and thriving communities likely come to mind. We encompass all these elements and more. Since our establishment in 1994, we have tirelessly engaged in constructing, rehabilitating, and repairing homes while revitalizing neighborhoods across Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas Counties.
Our mission revolves around the belief that homes are fundamental building blocks for families and communities. Beyond construction, we prioritize home repairs to ensure sustainable living conditions, fostering an environment where individuals can age in place with peace of mind.
Currently, our ambitious goal is to construct 50 homes, repair 50 homes, and enhance 10 neighborhoods through revitalization programs over the next 5 years. While this may seem ambitious, it is a goal that will profoundly impact our entire community.
How We Achieve This:
-
Homeownership Opportunities: We extend the opportunity of homeownership to individuals and families who may not qualify for a traditional mortgage. This initiative strengthens our community by providing stability through homeownership.
-
Critical Repair Program: For qualified homeowners unable to afford crucial home repairs, our program steps in to increase the lifespan of homes and allows homeowners to live comfortably, fostering peace of mind.
Our aim is to construct not only lasting homes but also strong relationships and healthy neighborhoods. Through partnerships, community involvement, and unwavering passion for our mission, we are committed to achieving our 5-year goal.
Whether erecting a single house or reimagining an entire streetscape, we consider ourselves integral to the neighborhood. As our mission states, "Habitat brings people together," collaborating with individuals from all walks of life to develop thriving communities.
We invite you to join us in continuing our successful journey in making Central Texas even stronger. Together, we can build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
