Housatonic Habitat for Humanity is people working in partnership to build homes for the inadequately sheltered, creating self-reliant families and enriched communities. We build simple, comfortable homes in partnership with people of compassion and future homeowner families.
Volunteers provide most of the labor; individuals and corporate donors provide money and materials.
