Habitat
for Humanity is a nonprofit organization seeking to eliminate
substandard housing and homelessness, and to break the
cycle of poverty fostered by inadequate housing. Habitat
was founded in 1976 to make decent affordable housing
a matter of conscience and action. Habitat invites people
of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses
together in partnership with families in need. To date,
it has built more than 250,000 homes around the world,
providing more than 1,000,000 people in more than 3,000
communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. |

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!
