About Us

 

No one should live in substandard housing!!!

Our Mission

We are a faith-based housing ministry that brings people together from all walks of life;

to help improve housing in this community and worldwide.

 

 

 

Who We Are...
 

Habitat for Humanity, Stanislaus is a Christian housing ministry connecting people from

all faiths and walks of life to work with families in need to improve their living conditions. 

 

We believe:

  • All people deserve a decent place to live

  • Families in need are best served with a hand up, not a handout

  • People will be better citizens when there’s hope they can, one day, become homeowners

  • Habitat should increase awareness  around various housing issues

  • We don’t just build houses, we change lives

 

 

What we do...

 

Habitat for Humanity, Stanislaus partners with the community to help with needed

improvements and revitalization activities.  Habitat offers affordable housing solutions

for the local workforce. These low-income families help themselves by building sustainable

housing throughout Stanislaus County. 

 

 

Selecting a family:

  • Income is less than 50% area Median Income

  • Willingness to become a partner family and contribute at least 500 hours

  • toward home construction

  • Excellent work and credit history is required to insure loan repayment

How it works:

  • Utilizes volunteer labor force

  • Accepts donated materials and in-kind services

  • Families repay 100% of the cost over time through an affordable, amortized, 0% interest loan

  • Funds are then recycled and used to build more homes

  • Every Family provides 500 hours of “sweat equity” 

 

How you can help...

 

Habitat brings people from all socio-economic backgrounds together from area churches, civic groups,

schools, businesses to build houses in partnership with families who need a place to call home.

 

 

 

Building Hope, Building Homes, Building Communities, One Nail at a Time...
