Join The Habitat Crew at Habitat for Humanity

We build more than houses.

At Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio, we’re driven by the vision that everyone deserves a decent place to live. Since 1988, we have seen decent, affordable housing help families build the strength, stability, and self-reliance we all need.

At Habitat for Humanity, we bring people together to offer families a hand up, not a hand out. As an independent, non-profit, Christian housing ministry, we provide hard-working families and individuals the opportunity to purchase their own homes with an affordable zero-interest mortgage. To us and millions of people around the world, there is no better expression of faith and love than to help people with limited income build their own futures.
