Our Vision
A world where everyone has a decent place to live. Our Mission Statement Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Locally Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg partners with area families, local government, businesses, faith groups, schools, associations and individual volunteers and donors to build and renovate affordable homes for sale to low-income families. An ecumenical group of individuals formed this local affiliate in 1985. We started our first home in 1986 and, since then, our affiliate has constructed and renovated over 155 houses in our local community! |
