Thank you for your interest in obtaining a Habitat for Humanity home.

Since 1987, we have helped 92 families achieve strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

If you – or someone you know – are facing barriers to opportunity due to inadequate living conditions, we may be able to help.

People in your community partner with Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut to build a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

At Habitat, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. Unfortunately, statistics tell us that one in four households in eastern Connecticut struggle with affordability and have difficulty paying for housing and basic necessities. We have spent the past 30+ years partnering with those who want to build better lives for themselves. We know, and have seen the data, that people thrive physically, mentally and financially when their home environment improves.

If you support our mission and find yourself asking how you can become a Habitat homeowner, please review the qualifications below. From both our perspective and yours, this process is a significant investment in people who can shape what is possible. Habitat homeownership is a foundation for a brighter future.
