Habitat for Humanity of Durham is a non-profit, Christian housing ministry that builds, repairs and sells decent, affordable and sustainable homes in partnership with people in need and communities that care.

Habitat believes decent housing is a matter of conscience and action.

Founded in 1985, Habitat of Durham has broken ground on nearly 270 homes for local families whose housing is unsound, unsafe or overcrowded.  Habitat serves as both builder and mortgage lender.  Through no-interest loans, Habitat offers affordable mortgage payment to families that don't qualify for traditional loans.  This is made possible through generous contributions of volunteer labor, money and materials by Habitat supporters and through the 'recycling' of home-owner mortgage payments.

Habitat's principles of no profit and no interest are true in more than 3,000 communities across the globe.

In addition to its home-ownership program, Habitat repairs, weatherizes and beautifies homes through a program called 'A Brush With Kindness.'  This strengthens Habitat's ability to transform neighborhoods and serve Durham families.

Habitat is love in action.  Plain and simple....Habitat works!
