Habitat Powhatan Mission Statement
Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to build affordable housing for Powhatan County residents who demonstrate a need for housing, the ability to pay a mortgage and are willing to partner with us. Additionally, we partner with people in need who own their own houses but cannot afford to do critical repairs to their own home. We preserve affordable housing in Powhatan County.

 

Habitat International
Habitat for Humanity International is a worldwide, nonprofit, and ecumenical Christian housing ministry that believes that every man, woman, and child should have a safe, decent, and affordable place to live. Habitat partners with lower income families to build homes they can purchase. Homes are built and repaired using volunteer labor and donations. The three primary criteria for selection are housing need, ability to pay, and the potential for being a good Habitat partner.
