Everyone deserves a decent place to live
Lack of decent, affordable housing creates tremendous instability in our communities, weakens our economy, and even impacts our health and educational success.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton provides opportunities for hardworking families to become homeowners through our homeownership program and for families to remain homeowners through our critical repair program.
Our Programs
Homeownership Program
Through Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton's unique program, qualifying families earn the opportunity to purchase a new home with a 0% interest mortgage. Through the program, families volunteer on the build site or in our ReStores, take educational classes, and save for their first year's taxes and insurance.
Critical Repair Program
Through Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton's Critical Repair Program, Habitat helps qualifying homeowners with repairs so they can continue to live in their homes safely.
When families have a stable and affordable home, they can:
- Provide stability for their children
- Gain improved health, physical safety, and security
- Increase educational and job prospects
- Be engaged in their communities
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton provides strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
