About Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton

Dayton, Ohio Habitat for Humanity was established in 1983 and was the first Habitat affiliate in the State of Ohio. Over our 40+ years of operations, we have served over 1,000 families through our homeownership and critical repair programs. We started out in the basement of a local church. Through years of hard work and dedication, we secured a building in 2013. In 2014, we merged with the Greene County Habitat for Humanity affiliate to create Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton. We grew again in 2021 and now proudly serve Montgomery, Greene, and Clark Counties.
