Everyone Deserves a Decent Place to Live
At Habitat for Humanity, we know that families in Hanover and King William and around the world have the potential to stand on their own. All they sometimes really need is a helping hand, a way to help themselves so that they can build a better life.
To carry out our vision, we partner with individuals and families from application through construction until the keys are handed over. By working with us from beginning to end, we can help prospective individuals prepare for the various responsibilities of homeownership, including learning about personal finances, mortgages, maintenance and upkeep of homes, and so much more.
We are not accepting applications at this time. To be put on a contact list and be notified when it reopens, contact Kimberly Bell at 804-569-6108 x105 or through email.
Habitat’s path to homeownership is an important and in-depth process, requiring hard work, time and dedication. This helps to ensure the long-term success of Habitat homeowners.
Habitat homeowners must be active participants in building a better home and future for themselves and their families. Every Habitat home is an investment.
