A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Overview

In the spring of 1997, a group of concerned people gathered together to explore the possibility of organizing an Affiliate Habitat for Humanity in Warren County. After completing a housing needs assessment and determining that there was a need for affordable housing, the group moved to form a Steering Committee and applied for prospective affiliate status. Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) granted that status to Warren County in February 1998. The next step was to complete an extensive application process for full affiliate status. Many people were involved in the 18 month process to complete the application. On August 1, 1999, Warren County Habitat for Humanity (WCHFH) received its affiliate status. WCHFH is now officially responsible for all aspects of Habitat home building in Warren County, including fund-raising, site selection, family selection and support, construction and mortgage servicing. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing organization.  We welcome all people to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with those who lack adequate shelter.Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity International has built more than 175,000 houses, providing shelter for nearly 900,000 people worldwide. Now at work in 100 countries, we are building a house every 26 minutes. By 2005, Habitat houses will be sheltering 1 million people.
