HILTON HEAD
REGIONAL HABITAT FOR HUMANITY affiliate
was founded in 1990, and is a nonprofit, ecumenical
Christian housing ministry serving Southern Beaufort
and Jasper Counties. By the end of 2007, we will
have built more than 75 simple, decent, and affordable
houses in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton,
South Carolina area providing affordable housing
to over 300 people in need. We depend on local
banks, skilled workers, landowners, faith-based
organizations, Habitat homeowners, and other people
of good will working in partnership to provide
the means, land, and materials to build homes
for carefully screened applicants. Without them,
Habitat for Humanity could not provide homes to
our community.
Habitat
is the only organization building new homes in
Southern Beaufort County and Jasper County for
those residents who earn between 30% and 70% of
the median income. Without land, we simply cannot
fulfill our mission of eliminating substandard
housing everywhere it exists in our area. We ask
that those individuals in the community who have
knowledge of land available to donate or sell
at a reasonable price contact our office at (843)
757-5864. You'll make a dream a reality for a
local family!
