About Durham Habitat
Durham Habitat is a community based low-income, housing developer that builds homes, hope and
community. Founded in 1985 by a group of visionary leaders, Durham Habitat is an affiliate of Habitat for
Humanity International and has built and rehabbed more than 320 homes in collaborative partnership with lowincome, working families and other partners that care.
Our Faith. Founded on Christian values in 1985, Durham Habitat partners with those who share our ideals of
love, respect, compassion and justice for all. We welcome those of any faith - or no faith - to join us building
homes, hope and community in Durham.
We build and repair homes, and we deconstruct homes. Habitat builds new homes and we rehab existing
homes in partnership with hard-working families in Durham and others that care. We repair homes for
veterans and low-income, elderly neighbors, and our deconstruction program salvages and resells building
materials from homes under renovation.
We build hope. Habitat homes are not given away, but are sold to low-income neighbors who do not qualify for
traditional home loans. Lower construction costs, zero-interest mortgages, and green building principles keep
our homes affordable for our partner families.
We build community. As we transform the lives of the families who buy our homes, we also transform Durham
neighborhoods by stabilizing communities to make them safer and stronger. We work in partnership with the
communities in which we build, and we embrace asset- based community development. Our volunteer
programs bring Durham neighbors together across racial, class, and socio-economic divisions to make Durham a
stronger community.
