Habitat is Built on a Foundation of Faith
Our mission is to build safe, affordable housing with people in Hanover and King William, and that comes from a desire to put God’s love into action.
We are God’s hands and feet, here to serve others and show them His Love. Habitat is offering a tangible experience that will allow you to engage those around you, live your faith, and offer a unique opportunity to love your neighbor. Our upcoming project in Ashland will be a Faith Build. Our goal is to have this home fully staffed and funded by our faith-based community.
Habitat Faith Build is a partnership with local faith-based organizations and businesses. Local churches and friends of the faith community will gather to help build and fund a home for a local family. We are inviting area congregations to put their faith into action by getting involved in this local mission work.
We want faith-based organizations to choose a way to support Habitat – serve, pray, and/or give. What is remarkable about this project is the lot is from one of our Faith Build partners, who will be this homeowner’s new neighbor! Please consider how your congregation can help!

We are grateful for the support we received from the PDC Housing Development Program for this home. This program seeks to increase the inventory of affordable housing units in underserved markets, including rural areas and historically marginalized communities, with a focus on first-time homebuyers. Through this program, Virginia Housing, PlanRVA, and the Partnership for Housing Affordability partnered to invest in the work of Hanover & King William Habitat.
