We build, renovate, and repair houses that provide affordable homes for under-served working families in western Fairfield and Litchfield Counties.

One house, one family at a time.

Giving Tuesday - Build Hope, Build Homes

During the month of November, many people reflect on their good fortune and seek to make end-of-year contributions to support non-profits in their communities. We would like to invite all of you to consider our organization the Housatonic Habitat for Humanity

Please join us this Giving Tuesday to make a real impact on the lives of families in need. Housatonic Habitat for Humanity is committed to providing affordable housing solutions to those who need it the most. Your support can help us build hope, construct homes, and transform lives. Together, we can create a brighter future for families in our community.

Home Ownership

An affordable home with an affordable mortgage builds strong and stable families. Children remain in school. Strong and stable families build strong and stable communities that impacts us all.

Our homeowners now live in homes they own where the ratio of what they spend on housing is less than the regional rental model. They spend less … have a fixed monthly payment … are building equity … and a pride of ownership! The model is simple … yet successful!

Join us for our next homebuyers workshop. Details are under the Home Ownership tab in the navigation menu.
