About Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity, Inc.
The Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity (Hartford Habitat) received its Affiliate Charter in April 1989 and serves the 31 towns of the Capitol Region in central Connecticut. Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International.
To date, HAHfH has completed 121 homes housing over 430 individuals in greater Hartford. We have focused our building efforts in Hartford and several of the surrounding towns. We have built or renovated a mixture of multi-unit condominiums and single family homes. Although we expect that the majority of our building activity will continue to be in Hartford, we are committed to eliminating inadequate housing in all of the towns in our 31 town region. We currently have an active East of the River chapter building in Manchester, Rockville and East Hartford. We have three active college chapters. We are working with other communities to form chapters of this Affiliate in other areas within the Capitol Region that are interested in undertaking Habitat projects.
Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity has committed itself to increasing the number of homes we plan to build in future years. Having been blessed by leaders who were both well grounded and visionary, Hartford Habitat enjoys a favorable reputation both locally and among other affiliates in the northeastern region of the U.S. as well as at Habitat for Humanity International in Americus, Georgia.
Each affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International is primarily and directly responsible for the legal, organizational, fund-raising, family selection and nurturing, financial, and construction aspects of its work. Each of the approximately 1,400 affiliates in the U.S. and 50 other countries are governed by a local board of directors. The affiliate selects homeowner families according to criteria that do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, ethnicity, or religious preference. Hartford Area Habitat counts among its supporters more than 14,000 area foundations, corporations, congregations, civic and professional associations, schools and individuals.
