Every person can make a difference in their community
Habitat DC-NOVA brings people with all different backgrounds together to eliminate poverty housing and build community alongside our neighbors in need of a decent place to live. We believe everyone can make a difference with their unique skills and talents, and we offer a variety of opportunities to support our mission of affordable housing. Whether you want to swing a hammer, help bring in donations at the ReStore, hold a fundraiser to support our builds, plan an event to raise awareness of housing needs, or advocate for housing policies, we have an opportunity that will fit your needs. Together, we can support families in our community in building strength, stability and shelter through affordable homeownership opportunities.
