Habitat for Humanity - Hanover and King William Habitat

Homeownership program: families in need of a decent place to live build safe and affordable homes in partnership with us. Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family's needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs affordable. By using the labor of volunteers and prospective home owners, employing efficient building methods, keeping house size modest, using donated construction materials and appliances, and issuing no-profit loans, Habitat makes its houses affordable for low-income families to purchase. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from instability, stress and fear and encourage self-reliance and confidence. Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. When a home fosters instead of hinders - health and safety, families can flourish. Owning an affordable home also allows homeowners to lift up their family by saving for their futures and investing in educational opportunities, bolstering job opportunities and career growth. During fiscal year 2023, Hanover and King William Habitat for Humanity served more than three families through its long-term homeownership program.

The organization operates the restore, a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail price. Proceeds from the restore fund our homeownership and repair programs.
