Housatonic Habitat for Humanity Joins Global #GivingTuesday

Support Our Workplace Housing Efforts

#GivingTuesday is a day when millions of people around the world come together to support and champion the causes they believe in.

After days of shopping -- Black Friday and Cyber Monday. it’s time to feed your soul on #GivingTuesday and pay it forward to others. We are building homes for people …because YOU care!

At Housatonic Habitat for Humanity, our focus is not just putting a roof over someone’s head. While we build homes for workforce families, we create change for hundreds of others who donate, volunteer, mentor, and shop to support our mission. We are both a builder … and a bank, which makes the Habitat home ownership model unique. Beyond the four walls, doors, roof, and a space to keep a family safe, we provide an interest-free mortgage with no PMI or down payment. Wow! The savings are tremendous. Homes are sold at cost … with a 0% mortgage. How do we raise the funds for our next homes? … only with your support. By partnering with you, we will build stronger neighborhoods with children who now have the stability to finish high school and reach beyond for greater earning opportunities. Learn more about what we do by visiting our website.
