35 years of building homes and changing lives!
We've been building homes, communities and hope in Sedgwick County for 35 years. We began in 1986 when a dedicated group of volunteers came together, united by Habitat for Humanity's vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Since then, we've partnered with more than 300 families and individuals through our homeownership and home repair programs.
Our work would not be possible without the support of volunteers, donors, sponsors and the community and so we also celebrate YOU! Thank you!
