What We Do

Homeownership Program
Partnering With Families
Families can build and purchase homes through a 0% interest, 30-year mortgage. Each homeowner completes financial education and contributes sweat equity.
Home Repair Program
Helping Homeowners Life Safely
We help homeowners complete critical repairs that improve safety, accessibility, and quality of life so they can stay in their homes.
ReStore
Shop & Donate
Our ReStore sells donated items to fund our programs. Every purchase and donation supports affordable housing in Kosciusko County.
Why It Matters
Homeownership changes lives. Families who own homes build stability, gain financial strength, and create better opportunities for their children.
Research shows that homeownership can create greater stability and long-term opportunities for families. Homeowners often experience improved health outcomes, stronger community involvement, and increased educational opportunities for their children, helping create a stronger foundation for future generations.
When families succeed, our entire community grows stronger.
Built by Community. Earned by Families.
Meet Our Homeowners
Every Habitat home begins with a family willing to put in the work. Our partner families complete financial education, contribute sweat equity, and prepare for the responsibility of homeownership. Their stories remind us what stability makes possible.

Your Support Makes Homeownership Possible
