Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg Area

Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg Area (Habitat) is a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg Area is an ecumenical housing ministry with the goal of eliminating poverty housing. Unwilling to accept the fact that thousands of families live without adequate shelter, Habitat challenges and invites individuals, religious organizations of all faiths, companies, foundations, and other organizations to join with us to improve the living conditions of people existing in inadequate housing. In order to do that, Habitat creates a joint venture in which those families who benefit from the housing contribute their labor in the form of 350 “sweat equity hours” to the successful completion of the home.

Our mission:
Our mission is to work in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life to develop communities with people in need by building, renovating and repairing houses, so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God’s love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
