We are Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County

Our mission is to expand affordable housing opportunities by partnering with people in our community.

Healthy communities start with a home.

We believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Together, we build strength, stability, self-reliance, and shelter.

Get involved

Our work in Monroe County has a special urgency, as our community is one of the least affordable places to live in the state of Indiana. That’s where we step in. Through innovative programs and services, Habitat is empowering families to change their lives while strengthening our communities.

Become a homeowner

Our Solutions

At Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County, we believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Within every safe, affordable home a family can find the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build a better life.

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, our houses are sold to future homeowners and financed with affordable loans. As the homeowners pay back their affordable mortgage, the funds are reinvested in our operations in order to offer future families an opportunity for homeownership.
